> Frontend developers […] do not value performance at all.
I do not think that’s restricted to front-end developers. Back-end developers rarely worry about inserting yet another http request in code called from user action in a web browser, for example. A tenth of a second here, a tenth there, it all adds up.
Product managers and users also don’t seem to care much or do not know how fast modern hardware is. I’ve frequently seen web page refreshes take 5 seconds or more without getting any user complaint, even when I explicitly ask them, and tell them how that could easily be halved.
