>"but maybe less important than they once were"

On browser based front ends it seems to be the case for me even though I still impose certain guidelines. On my C++ backends, no fucking way. Even the best models produce working but absolutely disastrous non scalable (performance wise and design wise) code unless watched over like a hen. Having said that - the value I get in either case is enormous.

My latest C++ project is assessment engine covering various actuarial type things like calculates risk for insurance etc. Typical performance for bulk calculation reaches millions to 10s of millions assessments per second on 16 core server. Well there is a trick there that inside it JIT compiles rules from a DSL to an executable code. interpreter mode (used mainly for audit mode) is about 3-5 times slower which is still insanely fast
