Every Line of Code Is a Potential Bug
2025-02-27
A programmer, attempting to optimize code efficiency in a multithreaded program, changed the wait time from a fixed 1 second to the remaining time. This seemingly simple optimization introduced a potential bug: negative time calculations could result in exceptions. This illustrates a crucial point: code should be kept concise; avoid unnecessary optimizations, as each line introduces potential bugs. Over-optimization doesn't improve efficiency but increases complexity and risk.
