>In other words, it was written with no consideration for performance at all.
This is a bold assumption to make on such little data other than "your opinion".
Developing in python is not a negative, and depending on the people, the scope of the product and the intended use is completely acceptable. The balance of "it performs what its needed to do in an acceptable window of performance while providing x,y,z benefits" is almost a certain discussion the company and its developers have had.
What it never tried to solve was scaling to LLM and crawler abuse. Claiming that they have made no performance considerations because they can't scale to handle a use case they never supported is just idiotic.
>That's the actual problem, LLMs are seemingly just adding a bit of load that is exposing the extremely amateurish design of their software.
"Just adding a bit of load" != 75%+ of calls. You can't be discussing this in good faith and make simplistic reductions like this. Either you are trolling or naively blaming the victims without any rational thought or knowledge.
