Sometimes the 'solution' isn't technical, but process/training changes, or other human-level modifications, not code or tech. People don't always like to hear that, but understanding that may be an option on the table, and what the implications are, can help decision makers make better decisions.

Good point. I won't say awareness of such solutions is a sign of a good programmer (though there's probably at least some correlation), but it's definitely the sign of a good consultant.
