vmg · x · 2026-09-12
- vmg, who claims 20 years in performance engineering and has never seen datetime hot on a profile, highly recommends a blog series by a hobbyist who micro-optimizes date/time functions and writes about it in depth.
- He specifically recommends the Fast Time-of-Day post; the full series is linked in the blog sidebar.
- Called "some of the best technical writing I've read lately" — a deep-read gem for anyone into systems and performance work.
