I spent some time at a startup where I believe (thanks to profiling) that I produced a first-pass patchset demonstrating bug-for-bug parity that would save them 10-20% of their substantial AWS bills due to efficiency improvements / removing some very bad early decisions.

Of course they made those savings by retrenching me instead (and hiring more cheap juniors when the time came) as they were too scared of their own code. I believe two years later my code reviews are still in the queue \o/
