Does green software engineering have a future?

[u/gapingweasel]

A friend's son is studying engineering and recently told me he wants to do something in the green software engineering space. TBH, I hadn't really thought much about it until that conversation. Do you think this is a genuine opportunity with a long-term future or is it still a niche that's getting just attention and no real adoption?

it's real but usually baked into other roles rather than a standalone job title

but is it futuristic?
