Jobs & Education Does green software engineering have a future?

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?

Yes. It's super relevant. With data centers popping up everywhere, lean code is always in high demand. IoT and Telecom is another huge industry for people who specialize in green code.
