I feel like nobody really cares about optimization anymore.
Until customers care about performance/optimization, most businesses won't care. Eventually there will come a day where hardware will stagnate sufficiently to incentivize software efficiency.

- Gigachad 3y agoBusinesses and programmers listen to money. When they don’t, they go out of business. Users primarily care about features first and speed second.
- troupo 3y agoUsers do care about speed. They complain about it all the time, you just have to listen to them. It's most of the "features" that users couldn't give a crap.
- Gigachad 3y agoSo why aren’t the users picking the software that’s faster instead of the ones with more features. Why does everyone use the “bloated” Gmail webui instead of some barebones desktop client that’s a few ms faster?
- troupo 3y ago> So why aren’t the users picking the software that’s faster This software exists? When all your alternatives are bloated enshittificated crap, what exactly can I as a user chose?
