Genuinely curious: How would you programmatically identify "battery-draining junk code"? Also, what is your threshold for 'bandwidth-hogging' videos and GIFs? Do you trust content-lengths from the server?

Why was this decision stupid? The nightshift supervisor intended to run a drill at a very inopportune or unexpected time - this is a great time to test! This is the equivalent of testing edges or boundaries. The report says the person that
