The last time I reduced database server load by 70% by just spending a week tuning indexing strategies and ill-performing queries, nobody thanked me. Sure, a new database server costs way more than a week of my time, but that is completely beside the point. The point is that I robbed someone of the chance to buy a shiny new computer. |

It's crazy. I could maybe understand if there's a time crunch where it's quicker and easier to get more hardware in order to make a sale that'll keep the company alive (which I have experienced once) but that's maybe 1% of the cases.
Anyway, in lieu of their gratitude, I offer my thanks because I appreciate the effort.
