Ya even at Apple during the end of the Jobs era, Bertrand Serlet, the head of software engineering would go through top and find processes that he thought were using too many threads (instead of lib dispatch) or using too much memory.
At that stage Snow Leopard was already a year behind schedule for what was meant to be a free maintenance + performance release.
So I’d agree that it cuts both ways. A good manager knows to trust his employees.

- Waterluvian 9y agoI had a manager recently say not to use a new flask server to host a tiny one client config wizard, but to use the existing one (elsewhere in code base that hosts a customer facing Gui), severely concerned about memory usage. I feel like sometimes managers create abstractions in their mental model rather than simply relying on their engineers to perform that role at a much greater level of detail. So to this individual, web server == heavy.
