I'm 30 years old, I started programming BASIC on my Apple IIc when I was 7, so this is the only life I've ever known. It's difficult to see the forest from the trees enough to known if I like it, it just "is." What greatly troubles me is that to continue to push the envelope in the fields I work in as I always have and always looked forward to, I am essentially compelled to violate my personal code of professional ethics and build super creepy technology that violates the privacy of other people. I know that if I don't do it someone else will, but that doesn't help me. It leaves me very conflicted.
