You are clearly someone seeing in black and white. There's shade of grays too, you know?

> Any sign of inconvenience and efficiency be damned.

Nope, not any signs... just that if you can build more with less time, in exchange of a bit of CPU efficiency, it's not so bad.

> Why do we even bother trying to fix environment.

For the future. You see, my program using a bit more RAM or CPU won't change much. Not eating that meat, that will change quite a bit, thus that's one of the things I do.

A software can allow people to be many orders in magnitudes more efficient, if I can build more of them, it allows even more people to be a few orders of magnitude more efficient. The power usage afterward, fit in the error margin quite well.
