There should be a global 'awareness' week for developers. For a week reduce your RAM to 2 GB, disable all cores except 2, downscale your resolution to 1366x768 and cap your internet at 1 Mbps (or less for mobile developers)...

Maybe, just maybe we will start to have less crappy, bloated software.

@mulander 2GB? Generous.

My rule is, give developers PCs that match the smallest spec the software is supposed to run on. And plug your ears, because they'll whinge.

This should apply to webdevelopers as well. Megabytes of resource hogging, extreme bloated JS code to power some pesky animations.
