I'll be the unfashionable person that agrees with you, then.
Most developers (workers in general) at worst are merely pointless. I think you could easily make the argument that working in banking (/oil/marketing/think tanks/...) is actively harmful and that the smarter you are, the more damage you can do.
There is no iron law that says that just because you turn up on time, work hard and internalize your organization's goals, that the world wouldn't be a better place if you had just stayed in bed.
- SegFaultx64 10y agoI agree with a lot of this. Especially work around credit algorithms and alike is fraught with immoral (or at best amoral) choices. The question is if it is more immoral than working on something like a self-driving car, that is going to yank jobs out from under a huge chunk of the population. I really don't know what the answer is.
