From the article they mention: Urban farmer Environmental consultant Environmental scientist Environmental lawyer Environmental activist Or joining the proposed "Climate Corps", a federal jobs program for young people to help fight the climate crisis [doing what though?]

    You joke, but code optimization is a career. If you can make something run much more efficiently, there's money to be made. I can't remember the name of the consultancy that did this though.

      if it were so profitable maybe some things wouldnt be so bloated

        Yeah the job is not exactly widespread. I guess because most of that stuff is just "ship it and not our problem" (the user is used to buying new hardware every 5 years to do the same tasks anyway).

        I hope that attitude changes. Buying new hardware every 5 years should not be the norm.

  Can't come soon enough. Randall's Python environment is really screwed. Node.js is a lost cause. https://xkcd.com/1987/ https://xkcd.com/1987/ \s

You can have a "climate career" doing pretty much any job you would like. You can be an IT, a dev, a mechanical engineer, an accountant in a startup working on carbon removal [1], you can be a chemist researching new ways of producing cement with less CO2 impact [2], a farmer specializing in multistrata agroforestry [3], a technician installing solar panels etc. [1]: https://carbonengineering.com/careers/ https://carbonengineering.com/careers/ [2]: https://drawdown.org/solutions/alternative-cement https://drawdown.org/solutions/alternative-cement [3]: https://drawdown.org/solutions/multistrata-agroforestry https://drawdown.org/solutions/multistrata-agroforestry

  That's a neat, pretty small scale set of jobs there.
