Virtually every single performance thread on stack exchange has that one guy that says regurgitates something about premature optimizations and maintainability eg

Q "I'm working on high throughput data science thing, is branchless math better than conditional instructions here, because this thing needs to take less than a lifetime to finish"

A "You should focus on code readability, it's way more important ..yadeyadaya ... i work on python and websites"

I blame slipping standards in CS programs and the entire concept of "information science"
