I know you're ranting to the world at large, but I am not "going nuts over scaling issues". All my websites are static HTML files. I regenerate them as needed using custom Python code and my "databases", which are text files in JSON. I have several sites running on a single smallest Linode, and the CPU utilization virtually never cracks 1%. Also, note that I am not advocating "coding crap". I'm talking about not berating coworkers over the nanosecond cost of an extra modulo inside a loop.
