Future of Coding is an online community with a welcoming, cooperative, and revolutionary spirit. We are unified in the belief that the common practice of programming is tragically less humane than it could be.

Future of Coding

National Digital Inclusion Alliance's Net Inclusion 2025 conference is currently live discussing the intersection between skills using AI and general digital literacy training: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e51nusl7Gi8>

One of the points raised during the panel discussed the idea of using AI-powered technology in an eco-friendly way. Is there such a thing like an eco-friendly computer or an eco-friendly smartphone in the same way there might be an eco-friendly generative AI tool? Is that even possible since the resources needed to built those artifacts are extracted from the planet?

Discussing the eco-friendliness of some technology in isolation is not very constructive in my opinion. It should be discussed in an application context: does it provide sufficient value to compensate for its negative impacts?
