So yes only with those questions that pertain to programming challenges. | |
| Oct 5, 2014 at 17:05 | comment | added | rolfl Mod | Almost all questions on Code Review tagged performance require algorithm rewrites. Sometimes it is because it is just too slow to get things done in the day, other times it is because some online judge determined it was too slow. Regardless of whether an online judge made the determination or not, all performance questions inevitably require similar reviews - "Do things differently!". Is your concern with performance questions in general, or only those that are online-judged? | |
| Oct 5, 2014 at 16:39 | comment | added | Emily L. | I agree that performance aspects are an important part of a code review. But in the case of TLE and programming challenge type questions I feel that the question is more about the algorithm than the actual code, in these questions the actual implementation is most often irrelevant. And then it isn't a code review any more but rather a "help me with this algorithm" question masqueraded as a code review. I guess this is what grinds my gears. | |
