Virtually all compilers — programs that transform human-readable source code into computer-executable machine code — are vulnerable to an insidious attack in which an adversary can introduce targeted vulnerabilities into any software without being detected, new research released today warns. But don't worry - I'm sure no one will tell the bad guys about it

Complexity?
Or following all new fuzzword bingo technology of the day and very few budget to finish everything within totally unreal deadlines while wasting 3/4 of the time in crappy and unneeded meetings?
Don't get me wrong... I do recognise he has some points and not all the devs are unguilty innocent but... many products would be better if the devs would just get the opportunity to actually do their jobs.

I like to tell people, you know, this all compiles down to JavaScript and most of it relies on proxying objects. So why are using this "technology of the day" instead of figuring out what you really need and write it in JavaScript yourself, or at least just TypeScript.

Would you work for an unethical company—even if that company paid you a lot of money? I'm pretty sure we know the answer to that one
|
|
|
|
|
Not if the president of the company was named Dr. No. (Unless I got out early.)

We definitely know the answer to that one. Governments have no problem finding minions.

Given some of the industries I've worked in....
And I discovered that there's always a group of people that will find something unethical about any company. And I really do mean any company, whether its what they do, how they do it, what their manufacturing process is (if they make some real physical product), etc. The very fact that it's a "technology" company or a company that uses "technology" is enough to set some people off.
Heck, you can't even build a windmill to tilt at without an environmental impact statement (disrupting wind patterns, killing birds with the spinning "blades", structure height violates zoning laws, yada yada) and someone complaining about deforestation.

Hi Mard,
imho: unfortunately, the rationale you cite for tolerating "sticky" ethical scenarios is exactly the same rationale that, in history, has been used by those who "turn a blind-eye" to crimes against humanity, and other abuses.
Personally, I would never work for repressive regimes, or, industries like porn, gambling, tobacco, blood-diamonds, coal, alcohol, or work with business empires like Trump's.

Define 'unethical.'
If i knew, or guessed, the company was involved in illegal activities: no !
If i saw the company as a whole tolerated any kind of abuse related to age, race, gender, or religion, in the work-place: no !

Giving you the benefit of the doubt here, I suspect you meant "no".
It makes it sound like you're actively looking for companies involved in illegal or discriminatory behaviour.

thanks for catching that, Rob: was it the darks side of my psyche that typed "yes," instead of "no" ?

Define "unethical", or give a particular case; "unethical" is too vague a term.
If I was aware that the company that I was working for was performing illegal actions, I definitely would leave; I don't want to be tarred with the same brush.
