Green software isn't a gimmick, it's efficiency

I wrote about green software engineering and the argument that landed with me: efficient software isn't just eco-friendly, it's cheaper and faster. The environmental win is the side effect of doing it right.

Things like moving batch jobs to off-peak, cutting redundant computation, and not running idle instances everywhere — these are just good engineering with a green label.

For anyone who thinks sustainability is a cost center, the numbers say otherwise.

I wrote this up in more detail in the full blog post — Sustainable Tech: How Green Software Engineering Is Reshaping the Industry — with the deeper context, data, and code. Give it a read if you're curious.
