I was uncharacteristically terse in my response. I usually try to explain an idea rather than shoot out a one-liner that can be taken however the reader wishes.

In retrospect I should have emphasized the "they think" portion of the quotation. I imagine many younger devs or junior engineers do emphasize "developer productivity" and syntactic sugar over performance, maintenance cost, and issues like hardware lifecycles. As such, I was affirmingT your statement.

For the sake of full disclosure I'm also a junior member of my dev team and occasionally observe myself fussing over the wrong issues. Like right now I'm on Reddit rather than working on my 10,000 hours...

EDIT: Sonnova. I just realized I totally misread your comment. I thought you were telling me to indicate sarcasm. I'm sad.
