It is profoundly sad how Rails has institutionalized a "nobody cares" attitude toward performance.https://twitter.com/samsaffron/status/1002446941156884480 …

This is the first time I am bringing up my issues with the doctrine, nobody owes me anything, and I shut up for many years about my issues with it. But yes I think it is fair to say that the doctrine totally justifies making Rails 10% slower provided developers are 100% happier
Probably. I don't really care about what the doctrine does or doesn't say, personally. It doesn't prioritize what I do or don't work on.

The doctrine by
@dhh is the public face of the Rails priorities and goals. It is a purposeful omission, stuff is "fast enough" and progress is more important now. Having a "company charter" that key members ignore is not ideal. -
I'd add that "performance is irrelevant" made much more sense in 2004, when there was still wind from Moore's Law at our backs. That is no longer the case, and has not been for some time now.
