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

This is a really bad take.
@samsaffron has had access since March to the repository for an experiment I've been working on for a long while to fix exactly this. I've asked for help getting benchmark numbers for it on Discourse... I have no clue why it wasn't included here.1 reply 1 retweet 26 likes -

I will revise that to include numbers for the experiment repo, and the take that nobody cares about performance is not correct. However the current giant pain needs no additional libraries to get solved for PG it can be fixed in Ruby

The take that "developer happiness" is the only thing that matters, and that performance can be ignored, is absolutely enshrined in Rails culture.. and has been from day one.

It is fair to say that for me it is very disappointing that https://rubyonrails.org/doctrine/ says nothing about performance. Performance is not a priority for the doctrine. Consumers of Rails at scale have a very different take.

"Performance is secondary to developer happiness" is not the same as "we actively don't care about performance". Rails is a project run by volunteers and has limited resources. Y'all are talking like we're actively just ignoring performance, vs having to prioritize our time.

also, for the record ... Sam Saffron is not Jeff Atwood. I have my opinions and Jeff has his. My goal was to help present a proper picture about existing problems. Jeff has heard about these issues for many years and is frustrated.
