I've always been tempted to make things fast, but for what I personally do on a day to day basis, it all lands under the category of premature optimization. I suspect this is the case for 90% of development out there. I will optimize, but only after the problem presents itself. Unfortunately, as devs, we need to provide "value to the business". This means cranking out features quickly rather than as performant as possible and leaving those optimization itches for later. I don't like it, but it is what it is.
