Thank you, this says what I have been struggling to describe.
The day I lost part of my soul was when I asked a dev if I could give them feedback on a DB schema, they said yes, and then cut me off a few minutes in with, “yeah, I don’t really care [about X].” You don’t care? I’m telling you as the SME for this exactly what can be improved, how to do it, and why you should do so, but you don’t care. Cool.
Cloud was a mistake; it’s inculcated people with the idea that chasing efficiency and optimization doesn’t matter, because you can always scale up or out. I’m not even talking about doing micro-benchmarks (though you should…), I’m talking about dead-simple stuff like “maybe use this data structure instead of that one.”
