Yes, the title "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" is appropriate for the Robert Frost poem. The narrator of the poem is on his way somewhere with his horse when he stops in the woods. It is wintertime and the woods are "[filling] up with snow" on the dark evening. The narrator notes that his horse must be confused that they are stopping in the woods instead of at a house. The horse even shakes his head because he does not know why they have stopped. The narrator observes how "lovely, dark and deep" the woods are on that winter evening.

It appears that the narrator wants to stay longer in the woods, but he has "miles to go before" he can rest.
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 ...
