In my youth I wrote m68k assembly programs with tens of thousands of lines and speed optimized every section of the code, even initialization/cleanup executed exactly once. It was very very silly. It was a lot of fun.

I also participated in very useless size/speedcoding competitions - some of them are still accessible from this old web page: https://amycoders.org/compo/

Note that some of the HTML is a bit broken, for example https://amycoders.org/compo/circlecompo.html - you can view source to see the full routine
