I recently stumbled upon this screenshot while researching social media on the train. Of course, it was followed by a cascade of spiteful comments, criticizing this fresh programmer’s attempt to solve a classical problem in computer science. The modulus operation.

    It’s not a trade off between dev time, execution time and memory as the author claims. It’s materially worse for all 3

      I think he was being sarcastic, playing with words. Meaning, that you trade in time, runtime and memory and get nothing in return :D so a pretty bad trade haha.

      Of course it’s worse, I mean, that was the point of this blogpost, wasn’t it? :p It’s just a (long) joke.
