How about we start creating well optimized software again that doesn't need ridiculous amounts of compute and money?

If your customers want features that require compute and money, and your competitor offers them, then you don't really have a choice if you want to stay in business.

  • That's up to you (and the customers) to understand that the location where the compute/data is happening is as important a criteria to consider. As it is today.

    • What if your customers disagree?

      Businesses generally shouldn't be trying to fight ideological battles, they should just be trying to meet their customers' needs. As long as they're not doing anything immoral/illegal like engaging in discrimination or dumping toxic waste.
