Doesn't mean the companies the work for did so.
Doesn't mean they agreed with their employers decision.
Doesn't mean they don't complain about it when their company does it.
Doesn't mean they don't raise complains internally with their employer.
But what do you expect?
They quitting their job about this, many can't afford it.
They mentioning how bad their employer is too every time they complain about a different company? That would be just annoying (close to) no one wants that.
Sure some people which also work for much worse companies wrt. such properties and are not currently looking for a different employer are hypocrites.
But so what? Better voice your complains even if you don't act on them then to not even voice your complains and just accept bad things. (Sure acting on them would be even better, way better.)
- behnamoh 4y agoAt the end of the day, engineers/programmers are the ones who implement these changes. I find it unacceptable that lots of HNers get so high minded about these issues but then go on to contribute to the problem by working at for-profit companies. Nothing wrong with either one, just choose one.
- dathinab 4y agoBut you are also implying that all for profit companies are bad actors, which just isn't true.
- stjohnswarts 4y agoAt the end of the day engineers and programmers receive dollars for hours worked and can often be ambivalent about whether that is good or bad for customers because they no longer are valued by management as input to features and the future direction of the company.
- behnamoh 4y ago> ... can often be ambivalent about whether that is good or bad ... I don't agree with that. At best, they should resist bad ideas, and at the very least, they shouldn't b!tch about them on HN when someone else does it.
