A quick point of clarification… re ‘getting people to give a shit’, is the quote referring to the organisation giving attention to scalability as a problem, or to attracting users for the service (which may or may not be scalable)?
My guess is that it’s the latter.
Every time I hear someone talking about scalability I always think to myself, “I doubt they actually even have to worry about scaling.”. Most servers can handle hundreds of requests per second anyway, which most developers could only dream about that kind of traffic.
