I agree... for a business "fast" means shipping a feature quickly. I have personally seen the convos from upper management where they handwave away or even justify making the application slower or unusable for certain users (usually people in developing countries with crappy devices). Oh it will cost +500KB per page load, but we can ship it in 2 weeks? Sounds good!
- blub 4y agoLots of businesses have nearly zero engineering in them and cobble together libraries and frameworks that they sell or rent as software. On the other end of the spectrum you have companies hiring specialists at all points of the stack to squeeze out the last drops of performance, dedicated perf teams, etc. The latter also typically produce the tools that enable the former to function.
