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.

If said coworkers are actually trying to improve and can take the advice peacefully, I will deliver it peacefully.

The others I will be pleased not to work with.
