What problem does it solve?
Rob Pike's 5 Rules provide a disciplined approach to avoid premature optimization by ensuring performance changes are based on measured data rather than guesswork.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Measurement-first principle: always instrument and collect data before optimizing.
- Guided decision points: steps and questions to determine if a given change is warranted.
- Contextual applicability: use during code reviews, profiling sessions, or when performance concerns arise from users or tests.
- Safe-guard discipline: prevents unnecessary optimizations by requiring evidence before changes.
Use cases include scenarios where a user requests speedups, or when you are about to optimize without data, ensuring changes are justified and traceable.
Quick Start
Apply Rob Pike's five rules to a code snippet to decide whether optimization is warranted.
