So, you think it is entirely subjective that programming has an ethical impact, and objectively it doesn't?

  A classic way it's phrased is "is a gun manufacturer responsible for murder?" It's an age old debate with a lot of people arguing either side.

    ... which is just an idiotic question to ask. The answer is ultimately uninteresting because it is essentially nothing more than a reflection of the definitions used in evaluating the question. The interesting question is whether the decisions and actions of a gun manufacturer can influence the well-being of humans, and even more importantly, how they do so, as it is just obvious that they can, and in the consequence how gun manufacturers should behave if they are to maximize their positive impact on humanity.
