If you create an inefficient process, you should be responsible for the consequences. Why would you expect some third party to take the responsibility?

If you create a horrible internal combustion engine, your gas station should not bear the costs.




If you create an inefficient internal combustion engine, you'd know because you have to go to the gas station every 5 miles. In this case it would be like someone was filling up the the gas without you knowing, and then a few weeks later you get the bill, and then you realize that your engine is inefficient.


In theory yes; in practice it’s very easy to push inefficient code to production by accident, as shown in the article.
