Turns out I wrote one a few months ago. This is its first outing. I just put it there without accompanying explanations, so it may seem a bit obscure. And it is clearly unfinished, if finishable. It is more a moral code in the sense of the ten commandments. And I am not native english speaker. So here it is: Do not make computer programs that force humans into repetitive tasks. Computers are made for automating tasks, not enslaving humans. Do not pass onto users a responsibility that is on the program side. When the user has a responsibility, make it clear. The computer program must warn users when their input could cause a valid output for which they would be held responsible. Programs must never silently fail. Once users have used a computer program, you must not remove it from them, render it useless or make it available at a price higher than agreed beforehand. Once users have used a feature of a computer program, you must not remove it, hide it from them or make it available at a price higher than agreed beforehand. Programs must not override users inputs solely based on a probability of them being wrong. Users can always override program outputs that are based on probability or incomplete information. You must document all the features of the computer program accurately and make the documentation available to all users. Documentation is written in good faith. Documentation must at a minimum describe the program inputs and the valid program outputs. If the output is based on probability, the documentation must explicit the probability for the program giving a valid output, and the probabilities of giving whatever invalid output. When the program performance varies between users, any user can obtain the program performance in his/her particular case. Every citizen is a user of a computer program used for law enforcement. Every citizen is a user of a computer program operating in the public space. Every citizen is a user of a program collecting its inputs.
