It's only HN that pretends there is no feeling in professional work.
- emilsedgh 13y agoApparently those guys felt good about what they did. That's what's upsetting people.
- mhurron 13y agoNo one sees themselves as a bad guy. Most working at the NSA probably do believe they are protecting the nation. Everyone is happy having done a job well. It's just human nature. /except on HN, where we are all expected to act like robots.
- jMyles 13y agoIt's the "professional" designation that's the problem. Once you say someone is a "professional," that means that they are part of a "profession," and that they answer to the ethical standards of that profession. Sadly, we have doctors force-feeding people at Gitmo, so it's not terribly surprising that there are counter-professionals at the NSA.
