When and where do you start ascribing morality to software engineering and deciding who are "good people" within that domain? Like any business, there are those of us that agree with their choices, and those of us that disagree with their choices. I can't fault them for taking pride in their work, even if I vehemently disagree with the result of it.

Your argument, applied broadly, has you applauding the pride of IBM engineers who developed systems to assist the Nazis in identifying people to slaughter. The idea that engineering exists apart from moral principle is absurd.
