Who is he even talking to at this point? He's arguing that performance has more than 0% relevance to software, which no-one on disagrees with.

No-one says performance never matters. People disagree on what performance merits optimization. A 5s to 1s page load improvement is massive, a .5s to .1s improvement starts hitting diminishing returns in user experience.
