Ethical Programming

#1 Post by rdonnay »

There’s an old joke by Nathaniel Borenstein (one of the original designers of the MIME protocol):

It should be noted that no ethically-trained software engineer would ever consent to write a NukeChicago procedure. Basic professional ethics would instead require him to write a NukeCity procedure, to which Chicago could be given as a parameter.
