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.

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.
