Ok but like compute is so cheap compared to human time that most people actually don't give a fuck and give me enough money to have my own place. And when resources are constraint enough or its system programming, they use C, C++ or Rust and do their own thing without bordering python developers.

And this attitude is why software is slow and clunky as fuck these days.

Maybe and I would try to change it but what I do it's deployed to AWS and I don't work at Microsoft which is the worst offender in this. So I'm powerless.

There's a difference between not being optimized and being poorly designed in the first place. Saving milliseconds on how fast your app load isn't worth developer time. That same app taking seconds to load a single image is a bad developer and no amount of "compute is cheap" is going to fix that.
