It would be interesting to live in a world where most people used this or something like it in production: sciagraph.com/

I'm kinda curious to know stuff like, "How much electricity would it save if time zone conversions in pandas were 20% more efficient?"

I was thinking about this because I was thinking about how I might optimize the resource consumption of a program where I'm ~the only user, and then I thought, "Hmmm.. If I spend that same time working on an open source project currently used by millions of people, with even a modest improvement I could probably save more energy than my homebrew project will consume in its entire lifetime."

Fun stuff.
