<h1>Prioritize Performance</h1>

|
|
<p>In various software teams, inexperienced developers prefer to add features in the current moment and plan to optimize for performance later.
|
|
They forget to do so in <em>many</em> cases.
|
|
This is a horrible habit that needs to be stopped.</p>
|
|
<p>These are the reasons this may happen:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Companies prefer new features over speed</li>
|
|
<li>Companies pay their employees on the basis of the amount of lines of code</li>
|
|
<li>Employees find it easier to write low-quality code that just works</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<h2 id="why-">Why?</h2>
|
|
<p>By not optimizing for performance, <strong>you are not respecting your users.</strong>
|
|
Over the years, the required specifications and hardware for each piece of software has been going up.
|
|
This leads to old devices being obsolete quickly and provides a bad experience for users on low-end hardware.</p>
|
|
<p>A widespread counter to this argument is that most people upgrade their hardware regularly.
|
|
<strong>They don't.</strong>
|
|
Look at your acquaintances and you will find a few people who use their devices for as long as you can.
|
|
<a href="https://www.sellcell.com/blog/how-often-do-people-upgrade-their-phone-2023-statistics/">A survey says that 39% of people don't upgrade their smartphones before 4 years of ownership.</a>
|
|
That is a whole lot of people to give a bad software experience.</p>
|
|
<p>Another reason to prioritize performance is because it's simpler to make swift software when it's in its early stages.
|
|
By following good conventions and proper practices, it becomes trivial to make software run fast.</p>
|
|
<p>Lastly, fast software allows people to use their devices longer.
|
|
Your software will be indirectly making a positive impact to the climate.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
|
|
<p>Software teams should take the initiative to make sure their software performs fast from the get-go.
|
|
This is because of user respect, simplicity and the climate.</p>
