In terms of engineering well, it's really more about doing the right thing at any cost than the wrong thing at optimal efficiency. In some sense we could say that rapid evolution of solutions is therefore focused on the right problem, much more so than navel-gazing on millisecond timers or big O estimates.
Well, in an ideal world. In the actual world, we're using really inefficient software to direct someone to your driveway with a tank of gas because you didn't feel like stopping at a gas station. But I still feel like I had a point in there somewhere.
