The hosts try out a new format in this episode, where they have researched a question in each their way and then discuss their findings. In this episode the discussion the question is "What is green code?" taking us from the micro level on which coding language, compiler or algorithm is most energy efficient to the macro level of outcomes of the products being build and the organizations building them.

Below are links to all the resspurces and reports Tommy and Mads mention:
