What we need to do as software developers and software engineers is we need to make sure that it is emitting the least amount of carbon for the same amount of value and user functionality that we're getting out of it.

Being green in the software space means being more efficient, which translates almost always to being faster.
— Asim Hussain
MIT Technology Review spoke to me about how sustainable software practices cut carbon while improving efficiency. I walked through the three pillars of green software — energy efficiency, hardware efficiency and carbon awareness — and why greener code usually ends up faster and cheaper too.
