Is this bad?
Really, this pool made me stop and think about this a bit.
By "I don't care" I don't mean I waste it, or that I'm careless about optimization, I just use as much as I need/have.
I develop mainly for the web and my servers are usually powerful.
My main goal is to keep the client fast and light, and if for that I need to use more server-side memory I'll do it without hesitation...
I care about the client memory usage, but not so much about server-side.
This is some kind of introspection I'm doing here... is this bad?
Am I alone on this?
Cheers!

Most people optimize their 'apps' for processor temperature. Or was that meant with the 'power' option? Anyway, we 'nowadays' have plenty of verything and therefore we do not have to know about any algorithms and can waste as much processor time or memory as we want. And there are (and always have been) great ways to fill up the memory and let the processor(s) get hot enough to fry eggs on.
Nothing like a nice interpreter like good old BASIC to get things slow enough. What? That's sooo 20th century? Right. JavaScript can waste time much better than any BASIC ever could. Still not slow enough? Then we can go overboard with data binding and even get compiled code down to a crawl.
After all, in the last 20 years all young and promising developers have been taught to believe that any compiler is better than an average assembly programmer. If I may translate: At least half of you are considered to be dumber than some mindless automation.

Good, but nothing to say about the poll?

Well, now you have a new objective: Be the *LAST* to vote!
