A climate team at a company with a huge energy footprint is absolutely a great idea IMO. Twitter operates a lot of servers and I'm sure some optimization can be done there.
- UncleEntity 4y agoLaying off half the workforce will probably save more electricity than whatever schemes the climate team ever dreamed up. Just saying…
- GekkePrutser 4y agoHow will that save electricity for society? Those people will just work somewhere else (if they're not working at home already which is super common in IT). It's not really solving the problem, just shifting it onto someone else's plate. Reducing things like underutilized servers could really make a big difference that won't just shift to somewhere else like fired employees would. Especially storage is something that is pretty energy intensive even when not in use very much. Our SAN systems were by far the hottest things in our datacenters even though the amount of compute capacity done on those boxes is negligible.
