In this episode, I’m chatting with Thibaud Colas — Product Lead & Engineering Manager at Torchbox, Wagtail product lead, and current President of the Django Software Foundation. We talk about digital sustainability: why the internet’s energy use matters, how to measure it, why performance is important for emissions, whether rewriting everything in Rust is the only solution, and why we should keep AI businesses more accountable.
