Ah, yes, the riveting tale of how a "noop" refactor—a coder's favorite oxymoron—somehow tanked #performance by 30% ⏬. But fear not, brave souls; our hero embarks on a treacherous journey into the mystical land of #Golang #memory allocations 🧙‍♂️, determined to unfurl the secrets of the heap while we all pretend to care. 🤷‍♂️

I don't really have anything interesting to say, just wanted to be included in the count of "active users" on Mastodon today. Feel free to pipe this one to /dev/null #noop.

@grainloom huh, in ruby a void function just returns nil:

def nnn
nil
end
# => :nnn
def voidvoid
#noop
end
# => :voidvoid

nnn # => nil
voidvoid # => nil
nnn == voidvoid # => true

#noop
