You choose to have that perspective and be subject to that locus of control.
Where do you really draw the line? How do you feel about money? How do you feel about eating to stay alive?
Ultimately, this is not a philosophy debate. If you're confused about what work is, that's your own problem. The business is still to blame.
Didn't we run this playbook and find just following orders isn't an excuse?
I'm not saying it isn't, but I don't have a shred of sympathy for the developers manning the ovens. Pick a job that isn't actively harmful to society.
If you're responsible for the system at Facebook that serves endless brainrot to people, starvation is too good for you.
I think you attribute way too much to the developers. Corporate offices are not small.
