I run a medical software company. I think it is despicable that these companies co opt people into things making it look innocent.
As developers ALL OF YOU should force your employers to enforce strong security policies and stop this sharing of data where it can be hacked. People suffere for years in various ways from a hack and it is always because of idiots like companies sharing data and dropping security
- hayst4ck 4y agoIn college I had to take an engineering ethics course. "Don't build bridges that fail because people might die and you might be held responsible" pretty much sums up the courses content. It pains me that the opportunity to push engineers away from surveillance capitalism (facebook/intuit etc.) was ignored. It equally pains me that companies will want you to devote your resources to money makers rather than security and those misaligned incentives will harm people. The 737 MAX was an equally pertinent exercise in understanding that management will cover their ass and push engineers under the bus, so you have to defend yourself from becoming a scapegoat in corrupt organizations, because when the plane crashes management will do everything possible to not be held accountable.
