Well at least you have a more mature response than others. This is off topic from the orig thread, but...

Tradez makes my same point a post or two below mine.

My issue is that in my job I see applications developed that require multiple servers with gigabytes of ram to run when they could run off of one server. The only reason this happens is because the application developers were sloppy. The "Ram is cheap and it's not my dime anyway!" attitude caused this. We brought in another group to do code review, optimized their code, and now the same app runs even faster on a single machine. The other two machines have been allocated for growth as opposed to a requirement to run.

There's something to be said about taking pride in your work. The "ram is cheap" attitude seems to me to go against the general attitude of the Perl monks, "how can I do this, or how can I do it better?"

While this coderef question may not be a good example, it should still not be easily dismissed without a real answer in a place where questions are welcomed.
