Once upon a time, in a rabbit outsourcing warren of Bunnylore, there was a young software developer bunny. And as a developer, she has had one very unusual treat: she was obsessed with eliminating all the bugs she can get his forelegs on. So, it is not surprising that her friends called her a “No Bugs” Bunny (or simply “NoBugs”).

Later on, she grew up, so she decided that “Bunny” in her name has became inappropriate (not to mention potential arguments with Warner Brothers), so she has asked all her friends to call her “No Bugs” Bunny. She has made a career as a team lead and software architect, and they lived happily ever after.

if you DO want to get performance from changing mallocs, make sure to test them with your own app

Another Quote:

in our humble opinion, overall winner so far (by a nose) is jemalloc.

Quote:

Programs are not the self-contained, self-reliant, self-sufficient things they once were.

Another Quote:

I highly recommend you log every HTTP request you send and every HTTP response you receive.
