Importance of Performance
I’ve been spending way too much time on my phone lately, especially since my commute got longer, and I’ve noticed that I’ve become incredibly picky. If an app takes more than two seconds to load or keeps showing me stuff I’m totally not interested in, I just delete it without a second thought. It’s like my patience has completely evaporated. Why is it that every mobile service now is obsessed with being lightning-fast and tailored exactly to our tastes? Is it just me being impatient, or is there a real reason why these two things have become the make-or-break features for apps?

You're definitely not the only one feeling that way; our expectations have skyrocketed because we're constantly juggling a million things on our screens. I remember trying to use a clunky old travel app last year and it was so frustrating that I almost missed my flight because the interface was a mess. I was reading a bit about this shift at https://economicweeklynews.org/why-indias-phone-first-entertainment-culture-keeps-raising-the-standard-for-apps/ and it’s fascinating how markets with hundreds of millions of mobile users are forcing the whole industry to prioritize performance. When the competition is that fierce, an app that isn't personalized feels like a waste of time. I’ve found that sticking to apps that actually learn my habits saves me so much mental energy throughout the day.
