Most people "just" do their work and mostly assume things as they are. Often, they don't ask questions nor question things. Perhaps they asked the same questions in the past and haven't found an answers. There is also finite number of things we can fix.

I love when things are fast, that's why I avoid working with JVM ecosystem. People ask me why and the thing which holds me back the most is speed of compilation, testing, running and startup costs a specially with Spring Framework.

There is also this great talk "Performance Matters" by Emery Berger which I highly recommend. Speed is important and often can highlight issues which could show up after release when changing things is harder. If we look at current software development, microservices, containers, IaC and we add up all the time we are waiting for the whole delivery processes there is a lot of time to be saved. Seen things like installing all the tools for CI every time it runs without caching :(

Tho there are people who care and if they see things like this they fix them :)

Maybe we just care deeply about our craft, and we project our standards and expectations onto others.
