The article fails to accept that performance and security aren’t addressed by vanity layers. This is a mistake repeated by web technologies when popular demand eventually crushes common sense, because hiring is more important than training/maintenance when the lowest levels of the work force can’t tell the difference and drives all design decisions.

If you want better performance or security you have to measure things, not wear a pretty dress and look the other way.
