The first thing the animals did was to destroy many of the things they associated with Jones and human control. They threw nose rings, castrating knives, and chains down a well, and they burned harnesses, halters, and whips into a fire. At that point they simply roamed around the farm, exercising and testing the limits of their newly-won freedom. They could not believe that the the farm was "all their own." In short, the animals began to go about the business of setting up a farm based on the principles of Animalism. The pigs wrote out the Seven Commandments on a barn wall, and they began to plan how to carry out the season's harvest. At the beginning, the animals were happy and optimistic about the future, though the reader begins to notice some evidence that their revolution has already been corrupted--the milk taken from the cows mysteriously vanished, clearly mixed in with the pigs' mash.
As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...
