Do you consider the environmental impact of the applications you are developing?
The world becomes increasingly concerned about climate change, and most businesses are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint and promote sustainability.
However, I don't feel like there's massive changes in the tech game in order to switch habits and search for a more virtuous circle.
The energy consumption and carbon emissions of applications are significant, and developers have an important role to play in creating low carbon apps.
But do you really care ? Are you open to using alternative technologies or tools to reduce the carbon footprint of your applications?
Where are you in the tree ? (imagine the tree is "green technology")
Wherever you see yourself in that tree, I would love to know why... What's on your mind ?

This is a great question, one that is on my mind very frequently.
It is especially pertinent when I hear news of new data centers being provisioned, or of the increasingly demanding requirements needed for blockchain cryptography. Even the growing demand for AI is a concern on the horizon.
I think we could all take a page from solar.lowtechmagazine.com, which I find inspirational.
As for your question, I am #7 in the tree. Our business has moved to on demand services, over dedicated servers, but I still don't feel happy that we are doing enough to make the state of affairs good enough.
