Hi there, I’m terrible at addressing the current environmental challenges. This morning, I discovered the Website Carbon Calculator [0] and tested all the websites I’ve created. To my surprise, some of my websites turned out to be disastrous. Until now, I hadn’t been concerned about the carbon footprint of my apps, but having access to this information encourages us, as developers, to take responsibility for the performance of what we build. This article [1] details how to reduce this footprint when building websites, serving as a great starting point for considering how we can minimize our impact (e.g. using less JavaScript) I don’t want to engage in the cliché of “greenwashing”, but rather aim to make a positive impact as a developer. What are your thoughts? Were you already aware of this?
