What about this weather we’re having?
Ah well, at least the laws of equal exchange agree with exchanging screen time with fresh air.
But let’s discuss balancing tree structures.
Adding new nodes and branches is usually quite a straightforward operation. Most of the time you don’t have to do anything, the structure grows on its own. But without any kind of supervision or maintenance, it will grow into a random, hard to traverse mess that just wastes resources.
So it is important to either implement proper growing algorithems into the structure itself or do some manual pruning manualy.
Now, whether it be databases or file system structures, it is best practice to do the balancing operations at off peak activity times.
And if you’re developing custom algorithms, document them! Take good snapshots of before and after states for studying.
