Coding Against Climate Change
summary
The talk explains how software development contributes to rising IT greenhouse-gas emissions and why simply switching data centers to green electricity or buying offsets won’t be enough short-term. It surveys Sustainable Software Engineering practices to reduce energy use (including criticism of energy‑hungry trends like blockchain/NFTs), argues for keeping hardware in service longer, and considers how product design and user consumption choices can help lower emissions.
