    I found this interesting talk in the comments https://youtu.be/AmrBpxAtPrI

    Tech companies constantly claim they are "green" and sustainable. Yet they continue to ship inefficient software that consumes significantly more power. If these app consumes just 1Wh more per day across a billion users, that is 1,000,000 kWh of wasted electricity every single day.

    True sustainability isn't just about recyclable packaging; it's about writing optimized code that doesn't force perfectly good hardware into a landfill prematurely.
