summary
Panel discussion about how software development affects energy consumption and sustainability, examining technologies like frontend-heavy web apps, server-side architectures, AI, and encrypted messaging infrastructure. The participants compare where energy is actually used (client vs. server), define what makes a web application 'sustainable', and consider the user’s role in architecture and development decisions to improve energy footprints.
