The MAX series didn’t go on its first flight with a customer until 2017. These are practically brand new planes.

I just recently updated a database call to return the last 7 days of data instead of all data from all time. It went from taking 30+seconds to around 2-4 seconds. Still a long way to go to make it “good” but at least it’s not timing out now.
If you think it’s slow, first prove it with a benchmark
So many crimes against maintainability are committed in the name of performance. Optimisation tears down abstractions, exposes internals, and couples tightly. If you’re choosing to shoulder that cost, ensure it is done for good reason.
Biometrics are a terrible security feature IMO. MAYBE if used in conjunction with other things like a username and password, but never on its own.
It got you to click on the article didn’t it?
