The Science of Success
summary
Claims that applying the scientific method yields measurable improvements, demonstrates a Ruby tool benchmark Big O built on benchmark IPS, and shows real numbers: monotone chain outperforms Jarvis March by orders of magnitude on circle inputs while both sit near O(n log n) on random walks. Uses the terraformer library, publishes code and charts, and proves benchmarking finds the worst cases and guides algorithm choice.
