Sure, but you often don't know the connections. Working on deep learning, for instance, can seem pretty innocuous, but it most definitely has applications in propaganda, warfare, surveillance, etc. I know where I work, there is no mention of our military customers, only other branches of the government, despite the military buying a lot of our tech. I think it's intentional so we don't discourage younger engineers from contributing.

This is a reminder not to place ego-value in software work, to keep a small footprint, to shed identifications, and surrender into that deeper Truth of our being. Acknowledging the inevitability of fallibility, it becomes important to adopt a posture such that once we become aware of a deeper truth, we stop living out what becomes apparent as delusion.
