Be weary of false prophets in these comments, none of these tools are anywhere close to production quality and now that major companies are suffering enough outages to negatively impact them (Amazon, MSFT, Cloudflare).
Much better take is to start establishing yourself as a slop wrangler. Lot of stupid money to be made from fools wanting to purify their slop.
If you don't consider it "production quality" and I don't consider it "production quality" and the paying client does consider it "production quality," which two of these people are wrong?
Why does that matter and not you know... the actual outcomes and damages that are effecting real lives here?
Are you seriously arguing that the only thing that determines right from wrong is someone buying the thing? I mean that would explain most of the sickness that is neoliberalism currently infecting the US.
I'm trying to warn that you had better pay attention to which incentives you select and where they lead you, because no one is wholly virtuous, and if you go around believing your moral worth is invariant over your behavior - as distinct from your own evaluation of that behavior - then that moral worth will rapidly diminish toward the negative. I would also like to see a clearer distinction drawn between economics and ethics. But if you imagine yourself to lack either agency or responsibility, over where and to how and for what and to whom you sell your labor, then no comment I could make will aid you.
