Being fast helps, but is rarely a product.
- IshKebab 1y agoI often hear this sort of thing "Facebook was a success using PHP therefore language choice isn't important" or in this case "superhuman made their product fast and they still failed so speed isn't important". It's obviously wrong if you think about it for more than a second. All it shows is that speed isn't the only thing that matters but who was claiming that? Speed is important. Being slow doesn't guarantee failure. Being fast doesn't guarantee success. It definitely helps though!

Also sometimes speedyness or responsiveness beyond nominal is not as much of a "must have" compared to nominally fast performance in place of sluggishness.
- IshKebab 1y agoYeah absolutely. At some point you go from "successful despite being slow" to "would have been a success if it wasn't so slow".
