There's something that makes me sad about the thought of an engineer, sitting at a desk, thinking "I can't fix the fifteen second frobnizzle page load time because otherwise they'll make me fix the performance of everything."
That's not how work is meant to be. In this metaphor, one should like pie. If the pie eating contest is offering free pie then it's perfectly legitimate to walk in, eat a normal amount of pie, accept your prize, and be happy with it.
