Timing being nice, Casey just started a series on performance / optimization [1].
The pitch is that it should be useful even for people not using "down to the metal" languages - although at this point in the series they have been essentially:
* yelling at the sky that software is slow (amen to that)
* making fun at python for not being C (which is, I mean, true)
* explaining why memory caching is important (which is both true and not obvious to most people)
* diving into the details of SIMD intrisincs of x86 using some form of vectorized quantum hardware-specific instructions, which I'm sure is going to help me avoid a few calls to render in my React app _any time now_.
(Just kidding, I'm pretty sure I'm going to learn stuff from the series, which is the point.)
