Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth describes the effects of colonization on those living in colonized countries, and critiques Western imperialism and nationalism. Fanon argues that the relations between colonialist and colonized countries are exploitative and result in the dehumanization of those living in colonized nations. The text draws particularly on the relations between European countries and African countries in the twentieth century, especially between France and Algeria, using psychological analyses to illustrate the effects of colonization on the individual. Fanon proposes decolonization through a revolution of the lumpenproletariat, drawing from the Marxist tradition. According to Fanon's definition, the lumpenproletariat consists of colonized peoples who are not employed by a colonizer state's industries, and this class would have the ability to revolt against colonization because of their lack of faith in colonial ideologies. Fanon's analysis of international relations ultimately focuses on how colonizer countries exploit other countries, the psychological effects of this exploitation, and the means through which the colonized can resist it.
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 ...
