Performance has always mattered. With sniffers, network performance engineers were ultimately able to relate wire data performance to what business owners expected from the networks they financed. The network performance engineer who managed the sniffer was the guru. By 2001, we won our first loyal customers.

I also learned a lot about how to work directly with customers, when to shut up and let the sales guy drive the conversation, and generally how technology sales works. The SE toolkit was fast, had no memory leaks (monitoring scripts could run for years) and let me implement lots of cool performance monitoring ideas.

Linux has been adding tracing technologies over the years: kprobes (kernel dynamic tracing), uprobes (user-level dynamic tracing), tracepoints (static tracing), and perf_events (profiling and hardware counters). As a performance engineer who does kernel tracing, I find the lack of an ID I can trace in the kernel to be pretty annoying.

Technocracy was, too: "best practice" was derived from people performing narrowly defined tasks in rigid processes that yielded poor quality products at a high cost. Frederick Taylor defined and measured performance down to the task level. In the 1980s, it seemed we were on the cusp of a revolution in management.
