It reminds me of a transition I made in coding from having written stand-alone applications for varied computers, to writing code for the web. The shift from that kind of code, to writing for the web was a lesson in protocols, constraints, and different ways of troubleshooting.

The importance of optimizing Drupal cannot be overstated. The “academic” debate around Drupal typical centers on whether Drupal is a Content Management System (and hence primarily for standard website) or an Application Development Framework (and hence ideal for data-driven, application production).
