you kinda need the one to get the other in the decent place, even if it is not the only one.

Lack of performance WILL turn every design into mediocre or worse

Bad performance makes even good design bad but good performance doesn’t make bad design good.

Looking at performance is making the second step before the first.

Performance is the means to an end, but if you fixate on performance, the means becomes the end
