The Mature Optimization Handbook

What this post added

This post introduces 'The Mature Optimization Handbook,' which provides a framework for performance measurement and optimization. It emphasizes the importance of data-driven decisions, avoiding premature optimization, and focusing on the critical 3% of code where optimization yields the most significant gains. It also highlights that performance optimization is a cost/benefit decision, best applied to mature systems, and can be a crucial feature when resources are limited or post-ship changes are difficult.
