Yeah. Linden was this weird mixture of Games Programmers and Enterprise Software Architects. Games programmers all know the absolute most important thing in the world is ship date and since you never re-use your code, who cares if it's easy maintain, you're never going to see it again! Enterprise Software Architects know performance takes a back seat to correctness and ease of extension. Since the enterprise never throws any code away, it's important to make sure everything can be updated by the next group of contractors you hire, even if that means you take a performance hit.

Turns out both communities didn't have a perfect idea of what they should be doing.
