    I write in C++ almost every day but never have the need to optimize for speed. Even when you write straightforward code it's already blazingly fast.

      It is probably very domain specific. In robotics for example everything is a zero sum game: CPU, memory bandwidth, GPU, battery life etc ... So it is really a topic, probably true for anything embedded actually. Some other offline applications: HFT, Telco etc.. I wish the GUI apps devs respect more the laptop resources they are running on, don't get me started on the 4 instances of chrome I need to run just for discord, signal etc ...
