The correct response to realizing computers are fast is not to make your software slow, because:

a.) you won't benefit as much as you hope

b.) if you break pro-user norms, so will every other site/app/library, and your thing will feel slow even if it's "fine" in isolation

c.) HW bounty is not evenly distributed, so your product becomes less usable non-linearly below some resource floor

Pretending constraints don't exist is not engineering, it's bullshitting.
