How? Why? Efficiency?

My company does complex cloud and on-prem web-based apps, JS front and back.

These inefficient frameworks make our developers more productive and allow us to design, deliver, and fix fast. Storage is cheaper, bandwidth is cheaper, processing cycles are cheaper, all are cheaper than developer time.

And these powerful frameworks give us great speed in iterating new features, which makes our customers happy.

The article is too focused on efficient use of computing resources at the expense of ignoring developer costs and customer satisfaction.
