We are having to pay less attention to performance as the available horsepower simply swallows potential issues.

Mobile development is a great leveler in that regard. Just the constraints of the smartphone form factor give it limited resources and this brings our code closer to the metal & demands restraint. We need to worry about performance optimization, since lack of it leads to crappy user experience.

  • Resources: Overconsumption of phone's resources is bad. The Windows Phone team has worked very hard to make the core OS very very lean .. our resource hungry app will stick out even more in this context.
