Reflecting on the under-emphasized importance of sustainability in software development, this blog aims to bring the light how the software engineering industry habitually disregards the environmental impacts of its operations. It sheds light on the environmental setbacks for digital society that include energy-intensive data centers, resource inefficiencies, electronics junk, and rebound effects.
This article goes on to piece together technological difficulties and solutions for sustainability. This use of algorithms and cloud computing will be mentioned, as well as considering and designing renewable energy sources and usability.
Subsequently, it illustrates the central function of partnering and championing by the industry, to correctly lead systemic change. Hence, one can see the need to partner with all the players involved.
Eventually, it urges the tech industry to come up with a new model shift towards sustainability with the coupling of a creative mindset and environment conservation.
