While your other comment stands, there is no separating yourself with the moral impetus of who you're working for. If your boss is building a bomb to destroy a major city but you just want to work on hard technical problems and make go

Solidly on the left? Last startup (as an SWE) I worked for the SWE’s worshipped the ground Elon and Bezos walked on… and their morality in their practices, even within their own teams, matched their faith. It soured me on all of it in a big
