I would say that the managers and business owners have that power you're pointing at. IMHO the code monkey implementing solution XYZ could use more power efficient solution ABC, but it'd take 20% longer or cost 10% more and Manager/Owner doesn't want to pay that as its an externalized cost and will cut into their profits this year.
This is the essence of the tragedy of the commons.
Solution? Price everything. EVERYTHING.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoI've seen much more sloppy programming because the individual programmer didn't care compared to a manager demanding it.
- kleer001 5y agoOk. That's not what I'm pointing towards. But I see your point. My point is that a manager and/or own would need to demand power efficient code and processes and the normal day to day business (like normal day to day nature) would be happy with code-that-does-the-job-just-good-enough-not-to-melt-down.
