Why do people seem to think that optimization is something you only have to deal with once the software scales so much that 100s of TB of memory or disk space (or thousands of hours of processing time) are being wasted.
It is almost like nobody even thought during the design phase about what might happen down the road.
This is why so much software is bloated and often buggy. Just gets something that half-way works out the door ASAP and worry about the rest later (too often, never).
