Do you...not understand that the class on ethics in software development was completely pointless because it was neutered by a university administration that was too afraid to commit to any real ethical position?

I thought I was pretty clear when I told you I got marked down for taking the stance that one should not commit crimes when asked to by one's boss.

The problem isn't that I was asked to produce an essay as part of the process of teaching me about ethics. The problem is that the entire class was pointless busywork taught by lecturers who weren't particularly ethical and who failed to teach any of us about ethics. ChatGPT could have done the entire thing and the class would still have failed to leave me with anything other than lingering resentment.
