From a technical view, bloated code is simply bad engineering. When developers write messy, unoptimized code, they force processors to run extra cycles. This translates directly into higher heat and more power draw at the data centre. By treating code efficiency as an environmental metric, computer scientists can measure the physical carbon cost of every line of JavaScript they write, turning software design into a green science.
