My experience with both engineers and code monkeys is that they are largely less empathic than the rest of the world. This is probably due in no small part that they tend to be from middle and upper middle class families and have been told their entire lives about how special they are. They then move directly into jobs with middle and upper middle class wages and are largely shielded from social injustice, partly because most of them are white and male, and partly because they are able to afford to live in areas where exposure to the justice system is largely a thing you hear about on the news. If you want to talk about justice or lack thereof, talk to a criminal defense attorney. I know several who went to law school determined to become prosecutors, and changed their minds when they realized how screwed up the system is. When I asked one about a specific case, he said that the guy was guilty as all hell, but the police department and the DA had violated the defendant's rights. His reasoning is that if the justice system is corrupt, then it's better for the guilty to go free until society makes the necessary changes. The system needs to be better than the people it condemns in order for there to be any justice.
