  > Think about other moments in history when people justified their actions by this reasoning. Yeah -- it's kind of obvious... except that it isn't just that easy for me. There are many technical highly interesting aspects, and it's fun to be working with C and plain algorithm development after a couple of years more into application development. Also, I'm pretty broke because I mostly do free software, so the money is appreciated as well. (I know how this sounds, but I just try to be honest) > Do other people you work with feel bad about what they are doing? Most people I'm working with (which is just about 4 -- we are doing a small package of the whole project) are not feeling bad at all -- probably not even questioning the purpose and consequences of such a system. They are just happy about being part of this project. And there are enough people that would like to jump right in. > Then realize that they keep doing it because you keep doing it, and you do because they do. Probably. But I think they are not doing it because I do it, but I do it because they do... Still I think critical about all this, and will try to make up my mind in november on how I want to go on.
