  Oh, you’ll get a decent machine, but as the top comment conveys, developers that think this is a license to bloat need some firm correction, or simply weeding out. Not merely because their undisciplined code will be substantially more expensive to run, especially at scale, but also in particular because it’s correlated to being a useless towel in a crisis.

The thing is, I don't think a lot of businesses care about whether the software they create is bloated or not. Performance isn't valued as much as features or functionality. Teams for example makes repeated multi MB REST requests where websockets would probably be much more efficient. Until the business incentives are changed, I don't think we should expect much change (and maybe that does start with the developers).

  Eh, my work gave me a laptop and created a service for devs (virtual desktop) in the cloud. The laptop can't be used (security clampdown pretty tight, can't install anything useful) and the vd would die with 1 command (memory exhaustion), and had to go to their office to bring it back up.
