Wirth's law doesn't bolster your point. He observed software is getting slower at a more rapid rate than computers are getting faster. Which is the whole point. We write increasingly slow, increasingly shitty code each year. I read and hear this attitude all the time that is basically "if you optimize something, you're bad at your job, only juniors try to do that". That's a culture problem.
It's frankly insulting you think Casey brainwashed me into this stance, when it's been obvious to me since long before I'd ever heard of him. IDGAF if code is clean or not. I care that Jira can display a new ticket in less than 15 seconds. I care that vscode actually keeps up with the characters I type. None of this software is remotely close to "runs good enough".
