Funnily enough programmers care about resource usage yes. Why would the user care, it's not their job? You're glad that the person who engineers your car cares

Funnily enough programmers care about resource usage yes. Why would the user care, it's not their job? You're glad that the person who engineers your car cares about resource usage I'm sure!

- jmfldn 5y agoI think it's partly true at least yep. At least in the mind of any engineer worth their salt. Any problem is solved with tradeoffs though, eg. no regulatatory compulsion to achieve some mandated benchmark might lead to less of a focus on optimising something to cut costs. It's not a really a zero sum thing and is very context dependent I'd imagine.
