I get the feeling based on comments here that there is a severe lack of ethical and critical thinking among engineers and developers. I recognize that this is only a vocal minority but the constant mantra of "move fast and break things", where getting rich at any cost is seen as a virtue, has made me extremely disillusioned with this brand of startup culture. Doubly so when people are trading stock tips on how to profit from tragedy by supporting the worst actors in the field.

If you are claiming that some self-driving car company has "move fast and break things" as their motto, then you are being willfully deceptive.
