hi Angsuman,
another nice post.
Well, about saving money, I saw a blog post a few months back about how software engineers through their work can reduce power consumption. We can write(implement at the least) better algorithms, do more profiling, etc. That way, the number of servers and the power consumed can be reduced.
I started using Java 5 2 years ago but recently worked on a project that is still using java 1.4.2. The reason : one of the 3rd party apps has not moved to 1.5. What a waste!! When 1.6, by default, runs atleast twice as fast as java 1.4.2, just switching to 1.6 can reduce the number of servers in a cluster. Those redundant servers can be put to use into more/better testing/staging
Hard work (almost) always pays and being smart and hard (almost) gets you nearer!
