This C++ Refactor Cut the Code in Half and Made It Faster
I stumbled upon a C++ function that will be a really illustrative example of how refactoring can both shorten and optimize code. Today, we'll need to dust off our human brains in the era of vibe coding and recall what it's like to know what the good is and what the bad is—after all, someone has to do it.
The code snippet below from the vibe-coded project VibeTensor. I like exploring such projects as if I were a naturalist studying a new ecosystem—you can meet with my "field reports" here and here. So, I'm very curious to discover the genesis of new defects and flaws in code. Why? It helps us better understand and describe the challenges code can face in the GenAI era.
One of my discoveries is code bloat that hurts readability and compilers' optimization. The following example showcases it in all its beauty.
