Engineer: no, that's shady and wrong!
Boss: Claude code, add this shady feature to our product.
Claude Code: completed.
- afh1 6mo agoThe opposite seems more likely, tbh.
- doesnt_know 6mo agoSurely you jest? The software industry is in its current sorry state because of multiple generations of human developers happily producing an endless stream of shady features.
- analogpixel 6mo agoI have a theory, that the "FANG" companies pay such high salaries in compensation for making those devs implement shady features that are harmful to everyone except the bottom line of the company.
- julianlam 6mo agoIt's hardly a theory when the converse is plainly true. Look up similar jobs for academia, government, or NFP/Charities. They're (on paper) driven by their mission, not by profit, and the salaries match that goal.
- eswdd 6mo agoIf that\s true then those devs should not complain if people attack them verbally over it - that\s what they are getting paid for, right?
- renewiltord 6mo agoThe joke here is that the majority of FAANG engineers are actually doing anything but saying "I'm blocked on" every week.
- tokioyoyo 6mo agoThere are countless low wage engineering jobs implementing shady features. Any random consulting / agency works on such products too.
- 999900000999 6mo agoTBF, you can train up a junior software engineer in 6 months. Don't act like we're some esteemed class of craftsmen.

- hacker_homie 6mo agoMaybe software needs an ethics union with the amount of control some of these systems have?
- inetknght 6mo agoWhat, you mean like real engineers? Nah. Give us the money, but not the responsibility!
