Developers benefit by having a fast machine. But it is also important that they feel the pain of using a slower machine if that is the target market.

- acqq 16y agoIf I had a dollar for every equivalent of "what do you mean slow, it's not when I try with 3 of <something that the app should process in thousands> on my overclocked XXX with 16 GB of RAM and 4 hard disks in 10000 rpm and RAID" I've heard or read I'd be very rich now. The only competition they have is the other bad developer's all-time favorite "but it works and it's fast when you delete the database and start from that." There are more bad than good developers (and managers!) in the world. They won't care to make anything faster than what's being "acceptable" for them. Case study: Adobe Reader.
