Manually optimizing the code I wrote in C, so that it runs noticeably slower and has all sorts of stupid bugs that weren't there before. All in a good night's work.

That doesn’t sound like optimization.

No worries, he can optimize it later.

Put a refactor ticket in the backlog. We'll get to it eventually, right?

Well, I guess it's either writing a device driver or that.

And the device driver will always end-up with most code in C or Rust.
