I would say not, but not because shareholders. More like they wold not be able to have the same talent pool available as now.
Most of software devs wouldn’t like to work on military tech. Not saying there are no smart people at Lockheed or Raytheon but I would argue there is less smart people willing to work for this types of companies.
Even if devs hate ads most would rather work on ad-tech than mil-tech.
- simplyluke 4y agoI suspect this has much more to do with compensation and security clearances than the aggregate morals of software engineers.
- ozim 4y agoI believe Apple already has background checks and all kinds of red tape on par with weapon manufacturers. For compensation I also believe that weapon manufacturers pay high salaries already as well. So I might be wrong but from my point of view as software dev - Apple is not producing actual weapons to be the only difference.
