When I was in school I had a laundry app (forced to use) that took 8 seconds to load, mostly while it scanned the network for the machines. It also had the rooms out of order in the room listing and no caching so every time you wanted to check the status (assuming it even worked) it took no less than a minute. It usually took less time to physically check, which also had a 100% accuracy.

Fuck this "we don't need to optimize" bullshit. Fuck this "minimum viable product" bullshit. It's just a race to the bottom. No one paper cut is the cause of death, but all of them are when you have a thousand.
