    What’s the context here? I know people say lawyers are evil, but I’ve never heard people say building maintenance technicians are evil just because of the job they do…lol

      That’s kind of the origin of my question, does this thinking about the technician extends to someone more involved in the product made, such as an engineer?

        Oh, the building maintenance technician also works for the evil company, and you’re asking if they’re just as guilty as the software engineer that worked to create the evil product?

          Yes

          you’re asking if they’re just as guilty as the software engineer that worked to create the evil product?

          Or the opposite, if they are as free from guilt as the maintenance guy.

            To draw a comparison, I don’t think anyone would rightly be angry at the firefighters in Nazi Germany even if they put out fires that engulfed Nazi homes.
