> I see many issues from developers where I have to walk them back to the start and spend time on identifying the problem. Honestly, in a lot of cases when I have thrown away something and used something else because I just need to show that I'm doing something to develop a reasonably performant application rather than spending all my time optimizing performance. Spending a whole week optimizing your application's performance is surprisingly rare in the modern hustle-driven culture of "lean" startups and such -- cargo-culted by a lot of companies and bosses who have nothing to do with startups. I recently realized that the entire gunicorn / uwsgi world for example is filled with anecdotes about performance instead of simple, comprehensible benchmarks; and I thought they were one of the better ones. I suspect this kind of lack of performance focus by most of the users is a big part of why.
