I'm unclear what point Jeff had in mind...

A micro-summary to illustrate:

1. I love strings.

2. You don't want to concatenate strings in (large) loops.

3. You already knew that, at least if you're a decent programmer.

4. Analysis of various methods of concatenating strings in loops.

5. Reveal that the methods don't matter.

6. It's bad to worry about micro-optimizations like the best way to concatenate strings in a loop.

7. Just avoid obvious mistakes like concatenating strings in loops.

8. Otherwise, don't worry about micro-optimization. Instead, focus on your real goal: writing better code.

Maybe it's me, but this article felt disjointed.
