(around 10-12 minutes in starts talking about algorithms in production)
Johnathon Blow (semi-famous indie dev) talking about when data-structures and algorithms really matter.
I tend to agree with this--a bad (suboptimal but functioning) algorithm now is better than a perfect algorithm later, and when you need to ship you should write the code that gets things done.
