Rendering does not matter anymore?

Being singularly focused on production is not necessarily the best strategy for great products, because that monster swallows and consumes everything, focused on getting “more”, but straying away too much is the road to masturbatory efforts that can be irrelevant at best, dangerous most often. You probably have things from multiple teams that could be done, and you have other things that you can persuade teams they should want…

In my case, being a rendering person, the question boils down to, what matters in rendering? Not only there are diminishing returns for productivity improvements as for any other things, but the split point between features and productivity is often tricky.
