Hi there, great node ++
Just my 2 cents (sorry if someone already said it, I'm in my lunch break and couldn't resist to post here):
Efficiency (in the extended sense of a "good program") isn't just about time. I've learned in my Logics 101 (best course I've ever tooked) that a good program must comply with these points:
- Efficiency
- Stability
- Security*
- Clarity**
- Speed
- Documentation
And the most important thing:
- The program must do what it's suppose to (note that this is not the same as efficiency)
* Specially important in the "internet daze"
** By this I've meant that the code must be clear, understandable, sorry if the english term isn't correct, I'm a foreigner (brazilian =:c)
Best regards,
