I fully concur. There's tons of really inefficient software out there that wastes resources just because for a long time, available resources grew fast enough to just keep using more of them without the net speed of an application slowing down. If we didn't have so many lazy SW devs, I suspect the reduction in needed CPU cycles would have a measurable positive effect on climate change.
