Pretty much.
I worked in tech and there’s a lot of morally gray things.
For example: the law is pretty clear on what a company should and shouldn’t store as data. Yet every year, tech companies violate it. A few even get lawsuits because of how bad they did it. Thousands don’t.
The engineers (many who only want to do the right thing) see it pretty clearly. Don’t leak shit. Don’t give out personal info. Secure that shit. Extremely clear guidelines.
But, from our higher ups, we are constantly told “ah that doesn’t apply to us” and follow whatever the marketing/analytics/data team wants.
Been this way for decades.

Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Dr. Oz begs Americans to take the measles vaccine as infections soarEnglish
19·6 months agoA percentage of American have been emboldened with “ain’t my problem”.
It happened when they made COVID-19 political.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•10+ year manager named Joe was apparently fired for bringing cookies to be thrown away before their sell by date to a food pantry in my town
56·6 months agoYep! Call me a skeptic on these stories. I’ve seen too many, “I was fired because I clocked in 5 minutes late!”
Only for it to come out that while they were fired for “being late”, it was the last straw because of all their HR complaints for sexually harassing dozens of women, offensive humor, and for creating a toxic atmosphere.

People would talk about Baltimore as being a really scary place.
And I wished they talk more about Tennessee being just a sad awful state.
I know it’s really easy to assume boomer === bad.
But to call them all Trump supporters is inaccurate.

If you said “All white people are Trump supporters”, that’s slightly more correct than old.
Question: did memes like this help?
Asking because I do street cleaning work in my neighborhood. And assholes keep throwing cigarette butts right on the ground.
I’d love to find a solution to have them quit smoking, which will lead to less cigarette butts.
I do this too. Shove it right into meals that it has no right in being in.
Burritos. Pizza. I often put it as a garnish below protein to force myself to eat it.

9·1 year agoI don’t think so.
When my city had a soda tax, every fucking store put a sign out calling it a war on poor people tax. But it was a $0.10 increase on sugary drinks to add to the educational budget.
Or maybe it is illegal but I live in a shit hole country.

It can become pretty bad quickly, with just a small project with only 15-20 files. I’ve been using cursor IDE, building out flow charts & tests manually, and just seeing where it goes.
And while incredibly impressive how it’s creating all the steps, it then goes into chaos mode where it will start ignoring all the rules. It’ll start changing tests, start pulling in random libraries, not at all thinking holistically about how everything fits together.
Then you try to reel it in, and it continues to go rampant. And for me, that’s when I either take the wheel or roll back.
I highly recommend every programmer watch it in action.
