this drives me to work harder

this week, i was tasked to optimize a program which has a very poor performance that the user cannot tolerate any longer. just look at the big difference in the duration of the program execution in background - 5 sec vs 1180 sec...

the user was very satisfied with the optimization that we've done. it's really amazing how a simple "good job!" can boost my self-esteem, especially when the said commendation came from sir ric (favorite boss ko na talaga sha!).
