Should those of us who write code be taking a moral/ethical responsibility for what the code is used for?

Everyone has a responsibility around how the things they produce are used. I'd say this is more clearly true with tech and code than anywhere else right now

Hmm interesting question. I really need to think on this. Commenting to follow as i want to see what others think.

Well we’re supposed to… there are structured ethical frameworks that you can refer to if you have specific concerns. But my ethics have relaxed after so many years… there are very few lines I wouldn’t cross nowadays 🤷🏻‍♂️

Personally, I think everything should be utilized ethically. That sounds like a good thing if formalized/regulated though. Sometimes it's hard to draw the line between which one stretches possibilities and which is unethical already. Overall, I vote for the affirmative.

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

I’m new in tech and curious why people consider product so…intense? Sorry about my ignorance on this topic or if my question is too vague. I don’t get it either

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise. I know he was the provider of the household and his wife didn't have a job since she was raising three young ones. Needless to say, I had to take off because I felt terrible, sick to my stomach. How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.
