When to violate coding best practices
Blog post from Checkly
Breaking programming best practices can lead to tangible benefits, particularly when it comes to performance. However, this requires understanding the rationale behind coding standards and being able to assess trade-offs and context. A key takeaway is that monitoring code running in the real world, through end-to-end testing and synthetic monitoring, is crucial for truly understanding performance. This approach allows developers to make informed decisions about when to deviate from best practices, striking a balance between maintaining clean, standardized code and achieving performance efficiencies. By doing so, they can identify opportunities to optimize their code without sacrificing readability or maintainability.
