Right. This is my point exactly. It’s hard to have it both ways. We can’t both carry the burden of responsibility for society, and expect truck drivers to learn programming in a 12 week bootcamp. It’s hard to expect programmers to have rigor in our work if we hire programmers who are self taught. And that’s a bitter pill to swallow, because lots of self taught software engineers are really good. But we don’t need to boil the ocean for things to improve. You personally can still decide you don’t want to make software that harms society. You personally can push back against your company if they want you to sell your users data. Nobody really knows how much they should respect your opinions and skills, so they’ll try things on. If you don’t respect yourself, nobody else will either.
