I wish product designers took performance into consideration when they designed applications. Engineers can optimize until their fingers fall off, but if the application isn't designed with efficiency in mind (and willing to make trade-offs in order to achieve that), we'll probably just end up right back in the same place. And a product which is designed inefficiently where the engineer has figured out clever ways to get it to be more performant is most likely a product that is more complicated under the hood than it would be if performance were a design goal in the first place.
