I mean .. come on. The performance "investigations" where these:

- "When I set a FPS cap it seems to slow my game down to a halt, and I don't really know why, so I'm just going to shrug and disable it and it seems to fix it, so I'm not going to think about it anymore"

- "My game has worse performance on Mac but a library developer says they're fixing it, so I'm just going to shrug and hope it's eventually fixed"

- "The game performs better on Firefox than Chrome/Safari, I don't know why, who knows, moving on .."

- "I have horrible performance rendering text as an entity, so instead of fixing my entity system to be performant I'm going to just modify my game loop for text rendering to be its own thing"

- "I'm going to use pooling to re-use entities and it increases my performance by ~30%" (even though they have only a dozen entities on screen at once, only allocating a max of 1 or 2 objects per frame, and adding pooling for this is somehow a massive performance win?)

What value was I supposed to take from this article?
