Slow code is just paying for developer productivity in CPU time instead of labor time.

It's great in theory until the AWS bill arrives. Often times it's still fine, just depends where the bottom line is.

Agreed, I love slow interpreted languages like Python and writing _fast_ Python is a different kind of optimization that one would do C. In cases like the article, the biggest gains are in just not doing something, or doing it less often.
