And almost nobody talks about the part that actually changes how you think about performance: designing benchmarks that answer the right question. I spent several weeks optimizing a poker hand evaluator — a pure C# reimplementation of Cactus Kev’s classic […]

Not a single paragraph — a full document covering opening observations, hexagram judgments, changing line analyses, Ten Wings commentary, synthesis, and a conclusion.

The architecture was clean. The idea was sound. But it was still mostly a promise. Nine days later, I have the receipts. […]
