One question I’ve seen posed a few times in the past several months is whether performance really is a moral or ethical concern, or if that’s all heavy-handed exaggeration.

As part of my attempt to become organized in 2019, I found several draft blog entries that had never been completed and made public. This week I updated three of those posts — two really old ones (primarily of interest to computer architecture historians), and one from 2018: July 2012: Local and Remote Memory Latency on AMD Processors in 2-socket and 4-socket servers.

When it comes to agile estimation, quite often agile teams spend a big chunk of their time in heavyweight processes like detailed story point estimation to improve the predictability or accuracy of their estimates. In other words, agile teams invest more time in estimation to reduce that variance (i.e. time estimated vs. time taken) which otherwise can be used to create features and add business value.
