Paul Buchheit worrying about disk access times

It baffles me how anyone can program a server without worrying about disk access times, much less a service like Gmail. Similarly, what do designers spend all of their time doing if they aren't worrying about the construction process? Nobody cares how pretty your design is if you can't mass-produce it at low cost.

Err, some people might care, and you could even make money producing/selling it, but Apple/Nokia/HTC won't.

Some people, is not all people – which was stated.
