For the people I work with, I'd say no to writing more efficient code, and maybe to using more advanced algorithms. I say maybe only because they'll just ask an LLM to make it more memory efficient. Which in theory will cause the LLM to choose a more advanced DS. But I don't have a lot of faith that the LLM will get said DS right all the time.
I work with dynamic language developers. Perl, React, Python and so on. Most currently don't care about memory usage. Some devs are actively wasteful. Usually in the name of code clarity or speed of delivery.
