Ask HN: Do you know the ethics of Developers?

2•eropatori•1h ago
Do you know what should go in that last point?

Do you believe others (developers or not) know?

- Doctors: do no harm.

- Lawyers: defend the client, but do not lie to the court.

- Judges: be impartial.

- Journalists: verify before publishing. protect sources.

- Developers: ??????

I don't, but I share concerns. When we see dark patterns, or work on surveillance software (like Facebook), or similar, I think: so many of these devs excuse it as just a job, supporting their family, while actively making the world worse.

So for ethics I'd suggest something that treats software as infrastructure that runs the world, not in an engineering sense but an ethical sense.

I don't yet know how to capture that in three to eight words like your examples.
