What problem does it solve?

Rob Pike's 5 Rules of Programming provides a disciplined framework to avoid premature optimization by ensuring measurement and simple design guide decisions. It helps prevent wasted effort and promotes measurement-driven development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Measurement-first mindset: Encourage instrumentation and data before optimization.
  • Rule-based decision making: Clear guidelines to decide when to optimize, what data to collect, and how to select algorithms.
  • Practical workflows: Use in code reviews, performance discussions, and architectural planning to avoid over-optimizing early.

Quick Start

Analyze a current bottleneck by instrumenting the codebase and gather measurements before proposing any optimization.
