I 100% get this point of view, I don't really care about performance more than I need to to ensure stuff doesn't grind to a crawl but. . . I can't help but feel something has gone wrong in software where things are, by default, very slow. I've spent time optimizing code in the past (mostly python) and its not hard to speed things up a lot. It feels at times though that the ecosystem is working against you. Tools like electron encourage you to ship many many times more download size than is needed. Python loops speeds are getting better, but they've historically been insanely slow. I don't think we need to individually obsess over speed, but as an industry we need to give people the tools so that code is performing by default. I think we're moving away from that end.
