I do micro optimization with every language I use, when I know, and where I
can. I am the one that usually solves slow query problems, and I use best
practices on database as well.
Guys, I don't get your point ... if you know that "$var" is a non-sense, feel
free to use it ... what I know, is that every double quoted string require
parsing, due to variable or char evaluations (\x00) evaluation, if I don't need
this waste of time, why should I write a totally meaningless, useless, "$var"
where $var is sufficient or more over 'whatever'.$var will be faster?
The fact is that this is my approach for every layer of an application, I am
not like that only with PHP. There is something to optimize? Make it your code
style and you won't spend a sinlge second more than any other, but at least
you'll do your best to reach best performances.
As I have said, I have never had performances problem, and I am a full web
stack developer, but you can obviously do whatever you want, is still a matter
of points of view.
