Have we ever stopped to think, what if we just said no?
If software developers simply say no and walk away, then the buyers are completely and utterly up a creek.
Money is the typical reason to not just walk away. But you know what? What about the value that we're creating with our code? The buyers wouldn't be paying so much to acquire the fruits of our labor unless said fruits were truly valuable.
- tlb 3y agoHow often does it happen that a programmer is faced with "implement this feature or be fired?" Most software evil happens because the programmers are busy and it would take hours to make a coherent case for why the negative social impact of the feature outweighs the claimed advantages, so they just do it and move on.
