Ask HN: Will programmers write more efficient code during the memory shortage?

For this incentive to exist, the app needs to be such an obvious memory hog that users start identifying it as the source of the problem.Even then, a lot is required for most businesses to prioritize this due to a (presumably) temporary issue at the cost of things like: participation in the AI race, other features, bug fixes, new markets etc.Heck, sometimes software is so inefficient that it costs developer and tester productivity but a fix is not prioritized for years.
