I'd pick 'Balance both when possible' - often a middle ground can be found, but what constitutes 'readability' in your experience?

I lean towards 'Readability always comes first' for internal tools and maintenance, but 'Performance is more important' for public-facing APIs - how do you see it?

I'm curious, how do you define 'sacrifice performance' in this context? Are we talking about milliseconds or significant resource savings?

I'd pick 'Balance both when possible' - often it's a trade-off, and depends on the specific use case. What do you think about using metrics to guide these decisions?

In our team, we prioritized readability and saw only minor performance hits - but maintainability improved significantly. Have you considered the long-term costs of prioritizing performance?

I'd pick 'Balance both when possible' - but how do you define 'possible' in a project with tight deadlines and complex logic?
