> This is at least part of what people mean when they lament that software engineering isn't treated as a profession in the manner of doctors or lawyers. This is an apt analogy. You may have just driven that point home for me. Do you think that pharma and health insurance companies want doctors to think about what's ethical? Likewise, do law firms want their lawyers to think about whether an IP shakedown is ethical? My takeaway from this talk is that I'm a Chad. Greater forces in my industry may expect me to sling code and ship features, but my role in this whole mess is to stop and think. Or not.
