The flow chart has no branches. It has been optimized, by pruning branches which cannot apply. Are you consulting a flow chart cannot be answered no while consulting the flow chart, so the entire branch structure resulting from a no answer has been eliminated. However, there are many other ways in which premature optimization can take place, and there are some optimizations which are not premature, so this is a robust and fruit laden branch. Since it would be handy to keep that branch in mind, its removal is clearly premature. Therefore, this flowchart has been prematurely optimized.[[Special:Contributions/173.245.56.69|173.245.56.69]] 11:02, 8 June 2016 (UTC) | The flow chart has no branches.

:I guess that as soon as you are spending time on a flow chart on this question you are not using your time to do things right...--[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 11:11, 8 June 2016 (UTC) | :I guess that as soon as you are spending time on a flow chart on this question you are not using your time to do things right...--[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 11:11, 8 June 2016 (UTC) | ||

Is this also an implicit reference to https://xkcd.com/1205/ (Is It Worth the Time)?[[User:Dani|Dani]] ([[User talk:Dani|talk]]) 11:44, 8 June 2016 (UTC) | Is this also an implicit reference to https://xkcd.com/1205/ (Is It Worth the Time)?[[User:Dani|Dani]] ([[User talk:Dani|talk]]) 11:44, 8 June 2016 (UTC) | ||
Sigh... One of most misused quotes of all time. The original meaning of "premature optimization" was referring to fine-grained adjustments to assembly that made it much harder to read but a tad faster to run. It's not a justification for choosing a terribly inefficient approach, especially one that will be hard to replace later on.
