I think the op means that this is a mindset to apply on any kind of software or tech project. Think apps supported by ads or deploying tracking toolkits by default. I was looking for a blog template the other day - so many come loaded with Google analytics and silly cookie prompts for no good reason. These are things we can influence.

- iamkonstantin 2y agoThere is no harm in asking things like what do they expect to get out of it, is it possible to achieve the same result with a privacy-first alternative, can it be recorded on your backend with no need to fingerprint the user etc. “The boss” often doesn’t know or care about the implication of involving data brokers. We’re not just code monkeys.
