    Even if you didn’t have AWS and the like modern sites/tech products need a lot more hardware than your random desktop computer to work. And that needs to be housed somewhere.

    They really don’t, everything is just hideously inefficient these days.

      Because for ~30 years hardware, microchips, memory, and storage kept improving faster than programming best practices. As a result we have bloated applications with poor memory management. In the coming hardware famines I hope to see this trend reverse course.
