People shaving off the last milliseconds or microseconds in their tooling aren't the same people shipping slow code to browsers. Say thanks to POs, PMs, stakeholders, etc.

Sometimes they are the same person.

It just take someone to have poor empathy towards your users to ship slow software that you don't use.

  • I've never met a single person obsessed with performance who goes half the way. You either have a performance junkie or a slob who will be fine with 20 minutes compile times.

    • I have. They cared a lot about performance for them because they hated waiting, but gave literally no shit about anyone else.
