You just get asked to work on project blah. And you're like okay, what do I do? Figure out this system for them, okay. And you work and focus on the technical details.
I mean, I really appreciate all of you who seem to dig in and dive into the what and why of every system you work on, but I often just do work. I get tunnel vision and do the things I have to do. I don't really care about much outside of that spectrum unless it impacts what I have to accomplish.

But somehow I never climb back out to find the bug I just fixed is part of a giant censorship machine. Are you saying there is a greater than zero chance that you've accidentally done work on a similarly unethical system?
