Very optimized projects are out-competed by well-factored but less optimized projects, because the latter ones can add features faster. Thats why we are where we are today.
- gameswithgo 5y agoA great deal of software has room to be made an order of magnitude faster with no negative impact on maintainability.
- somethingAlex 5y agoIn the new technology sector this is certainly true. Find your product-market fit and then optimize when you become mature and scale up. But aren't we talking about extremely mature kernel code here? My impression is that all kernel distros in high use are optimized but they are general use software. The degree to which you may optimize software is constrained but the diversity of use cases you must support.
