Resource and energy-efficient software is a relatively new field of research and software-induced environmental impacts are rarely considered during development.
Good idea, hope it catches on, When I began coding, we had to design efficient loops and be careful with memory, but recently brute force applied “in the cloud” seems to dominate, especially with AI. Perhaps this approach can help give a little credit to those who still try to develop efficient software.
[ p.s. you might get more comments if cross-post to a programming / software community ? ]
