No, the people on HN are the ones who could change it. Many here develop software. The current mantra of many is to avoid premature optimisation. Who cares about a function that runs 50ms? Well, in reality this function will at some point run within other functions and needs to be called 10 times, adding half a second to page load. Micro services are also really nice to develop but you'll almost always pay with performance. Even inter-datacentre latency adds up if you need 100 calls until you can show the result to the user.
