We should put that industry where energy resources are most abundant. (Texas)

We can greatly reduce the amount of infrastructure needed by putting the industry where the resources are, rather than trying to move the energy…

One of the main reasons renewable energy is going to triumph in the end is, IMO, not well understood by the general populace, so here's a quick 🧵on it.

Over time, the price of fossil fuels is determined by two forces pulling in opposite directions. On one hand ...

We’re seeing a trend in solar fences because solar panels are as cheap as regular building materials now.

Soon we’ll see the same trend in wall claddings.

Solar will be ubiquitous. It won’t provide 100% of electricity in every region, but it will be passively working in the…

I'm so annoyed that I forgot to mention Dr. Vroom (true name!) in my #QConLondon talk yesterday.

But my (Dr. Vroom-less) slides are here, and there's other good stuff in them, like angry crabs and folding see-saws and how Quarkus Panache works: hollycummins.com/quarkus-effici…

In a recent episode of Environmental Variables, Anne Currie and Asim Hussain discussed the intersection of #AI , #sustainability , and the changing world of #greensoftware legislation.

Book signing! Everything went! QCon Software Development Conferences London

Looking forward to the Efficient Programming Languages track at QCon London Software Development Conference today! Hosted by Anne Currie and Jon Berger 💻
Kicking off with Alan Elder and 'What can you learn from the fastest code in the world?'

The only place all us authors of Building Green Software have ever met irl is Qcon London!

So excited to be back at #QConLondon this year!
Tuesday at 14:25 on the ground floor we have a BOOK SIGNING for #BuildingGreenSoftware with all three of us Anne Currie Sarah Hsu 🌱

Aww, I arrived at QCon London Software Development Conference and got a smile and a 'welcome back, Holly!' 🥰

I've been working *really* hard on my 'Quarkus Efficiency Secrets' for Anne Currie's 'efficient languages' track tomorrow, so I'm excited to share it... and lunch involved mango, so it's all win.

#QConLondon ! Hoping for loads of good conversations on green software as well as our track on the future of code efficiency! Plus all :three authors will be signing Building Green Software tomorrow in the reception area at 2:25

Looking forward to QCon!
