Apart from library code, maybe your application doesn't have frame pointers either, in which case everything is broken. Only in extreme circumstances does the cost (in processor time and I-cache footprint) translate to a tangible benefit - circumstances which usually resort to hand-coded assembly anyway.

It sits at the very beginning of the process before the code is written and can save an immense amount of time down the road (of somebody spending tons of time just to get to a dead-end). I really like what one of the smartest people with whom I worked said: “A good design is a design where you can see the code”. Important note.

You know, have a plan for it and write code that’s mindful about adding extra weight to the page. But not everything about performance happens directly at the code level, right? I’d say many — if not most — sites and apps rely on some number of third-party scripts where we might not have any influence over the code.

Saying “yes, adding security made the code more complex” is wrong on several fronts.
