If I'd wanted to bring a thing that modern software development needs right now. I'd say it's optimizations. But, unfortunately, so many companies, big & small, disregard this critical step because of the insane performance that comes from modern hardware. I guess the gaming industry is the most affected and the one where these issues are most easy to notice.
