Devs should really grab an old netbook from ebay with an atom cpu and 1-2GB of ram and see how well their new React app works on that

Maybe we devs should incur some kind of responsibility for the energy inefficiencies of our code. A memory leak or sloppy sort or calling obsolete resources can be ignored and deployed because it isn't very noticeable, but multiply by millions and you are burning things up.

I stopped playing with the sparkly chatbots unless I really feel it's useful, due to the energy and water waste.

Years ago I attended a workshop given by TI on the MSP430, which at the time was one of the lowest-power consumption microprocessors on the market. These were going into lots of battery-powered devices, and the presenter said, "Every line of code is a little bit of battery power you will never get back."
