Those are things developers say to keep themselves employable.

We are long past knitting RAM. You should go with the times. Development speed is key nowadays. People literally dont care about speed. If they did, Amazon & Facebook were long gone.

    What does that mean?

    I find I develop faster when I am not waiting on a bunch of unnecessary nonsense that is only present to supplement untrained developers. For example I can refactor an absolutely massive application in around 2 hours if I have end to end tests that execute in seconds and everything is defined as well organized interfaces.

    You cannot develop fast if everything you touch is slow.

    I am really not interested in develops inventing wild guesses.

    • You live in a dream world if you think this is how apps are built in the industry... None of the apps I have worked on had tests or even up to date dependencies.
