Is all adds up still. Just some “its” add up to a lot more than others. I agree with your point. I’ve spent way too much time responding to code reviews where the reviewer asks me to be more efficient in something that takes triple digit nanoseconds per request on internal systems that typically get dozens of requests per day. I would love a version of this classic xkcd that covers events that take nanoseconds and milliseconds [0]. I suppose it would have to also account for the difference in value between a human’s time and a machine’s unless you assume there is a human waiting in real time for every process to finish.
