More than once I've run across situations of everyone sitting around going "we need to scale up the server or switch the database or rewrite some of this frontend stuff or something it's so slow and there's nothing we can do" and solved their intractable performance problems by just adding an index in MySQL that actually covers the columns they're querying on.

Lots of people seem to want some silver bullet magical software/technology to solve their problems instead of learning how to use the tools they have. That's not software development.
