Premature optimization is the root of all evil, they say. I think not caring about performance means we're more interested about pushing MVPs onto the customer than actually solving problems.

One of these is that a lack of performance will needlessly burn CPU cycles and waste energy, while also ensuring that whatever system it runs on needs to be replaced faster.

So keep in the back of your mind that you don't want to kill the planet with bad front end performance. Thanks for coding considerately.
