"Superior Orders" has been a tried and tested excuse - it doesn't work. If your shitty software harms people you don't just get to throw up your arms and shrug

  There’s a huge gap between concentration camps and software that can be misused by administrators to wrongly punish students. If I had to feed my kids and had no other options, I wouldn’t shoot civilians, but I might well work for a software company where I had qualms about the output. In fact, it’s hard (probably impossible) to find any large company that doesn’t have some negative impact on the world.

    Yes there is, just like there's a huge difference in the amount of disdain I would apply between those two activities. Either way you dont get to eject your agency and involvement.
