Graphics Programming Black Book (1997)
Although I have heard a lot about the "Don't opimize if you don't need it" or many lines that are similar to this. I also heard from somewhere (maybe it was HN) that modern programmers do not spend enough time on optimization. Half because their education is more and more far away from low level and half because modern software is becoming too complex and they don't have time to optimize much.<p>What's your thought on this?
