All careers are time-sensitive. If there's an acceptable solution that you can implement in a day, you boss generally won't be happy about it if you spend a week implementing a "better" solution.

In this sense, I meant "milliseconds matter". Firefighting is time sensitive in this sense, most design work is not. Speed chess is also time sensitive in this sense.
