What was he doing? Showing them that bad code will make them feel hotter?
- bmurphy1976 2mo agoHe was showing how complex and expensive a data center is and giving them real-world visceral experience that inefficient code has real-world implications.

- yardstick 2mo agoBusy servers generate more heat. Inefficient code makes servers busier. There’s a real physical outcome for bad performance code at scale. But you don’t really want lots of idle or underused servers, aside from burst capacity management. So if they universally and consistently wrote more efficient code I’d expect a smaller datacenter. Full of still busy servers but just less of them.
