As someone in tech over 40, and who previously worked in embedded systems, it amazes me how little attention we pay to efficiency today. I now work with teams who will think nothing of spinning up 1000 containers with 2000 vCPUs to run a microservice. I've previously been told developer availability and developer convenience are higher priority than performance. But frankly, when you're spending millions on compute, perhaps reducing the cost of compute might be more important than finding devs?
