Are you going to notice the difference? If you are on the end of a website and it takes 1″ to send something to the server and 1″ to get something back, you aren't going to notice that difference of 0.4″. Least of all if you have just spent one minute filling in a form.fred rosenberger wrote:. . . a program that runs in .5 seconds and is easy to read . . . than have a program that runs in .1 seconds but . . . .

One possibility.I haven't seen your code yet. Go through it slowly and explain it so simply that even I can understand it.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

The flip side of that is accusative teams (a/k/a "peer review"), where the game is to tear down someone's ego. Cynic that I am, I fear that's mostly about management getting fellow staff to gang up on you in order to keep you from expecting decent pay and working conditions.
