My NHibernate podcast interview with Ron Jacobs of Channel 9

Well, earlier this month when I was out in San Francisco speaking at VSLive, I was interviewed by MSDN Channel 9's Ron Jacobs on his ARCast podcast. 

I just got an email from Ron letting me know it's up.  Here's the link.  Share and enjoy.

Pretty long and detailed podcast on nHibernate - whew! You spoke quietly but it was clear enough. Transparent write-behind was interesting. I got it. Your heretical statements about buying more hardware instead of worrying about performance issues, though, was, well, heretical - except it seems to typify the average programmer. And I don't think you are the average programmer. I think you really DO care about performance - after all, using nHibernate enhances YOUR performance, right? Well, it's OK to preach good practices, especially about database access performance issues. This is typically the last thing programmers care about - if it works, well, hey... But as an ARHCITECT, this is something to get preachy about, eh? I wish I'd been out there to heckle you - proudly, of course. -unca S

That would have been funny to have someone else in the room heckling! ahaha

I agree, it's complete heresy to not worry about performance issues...but it's a good idea to not obsess about them. I think that lots of developers get obsessed by the ideal of "performance" and either 1.) waste a lot of time trying to wring that extra little drop of speed out of their code or 2.) optimize their code before they've actually performance tested it and therefore end up optimizing the wrong thing.

I saw a blog post a few days ago about NHibernate with a great quote.

"What performance do they really need? Now, NHibernate is NOT slow, but if you need to go 400 MPH instead of a measley 397MPH, then you have some pretty heavy traffic and strict performance requirements. For the rest of applications, NHibernate probably offers more speed than required."
