    Any of this isn’t a “programmers” problem - this is just a “people” problem. Programmers are just forced slaves to the system because, like everybody else, they need to eat as well.

    You’re not going to fix shit like that by convincing some portion of the work force that they “need to stick to morals” - if there’s money involved, someone will take the pay check.

    The only way this changes is if society as a whole decides this isn’t okay and forces regulations or other legal enforcement to prevent shit like this. You need all of society to shift and force a change - pulling workers out of their offices will just result in new workers filling their seats.

      Cool, hows that working out so far with the vast majority of people not actually doing anything that might actually result in your desired outcome?

      Just keep thinking inside the box, I hear the view from the Overton Window shifts very slowly, so we can all just watch the planet die and with it human civilization as we know it, waiting for society to solve the problem from inside all their little boxes, with their same view from their same Overton Windows.

        Imagine thinking that telling programmers to quit “cuz morals” is thinking outside the box.

            Please, please let this result in these programmers realizing that working for for profit corporations is bad for societal reasons as well as for themselves.

            ROFL. Sure bud.
