2026-07-27 Ethics
=================

I was following a link that @dahukanna@mastodon.social had posted and
followed a link as one does, and saw the following:

> Interviewing is not Computer Science
> Philosophy is not Computer Science
> Ethics is not Computer Science

> But why though? Why aren't these things part of what we do?
> Shouldn't they be?

When I was a young programmer, I felt that talking to customers was
important and sometimes my fellow programmers failed at the task.

When I was a middle-age programmer, I felt that thinking about the
whys and hows was important and sometimes my fellow programmers failed
at the task.

These days, I feel that thinking about the blood on the hardware we
use and thinking about the crimes committed using the software we use
is important and sometimes my fellow programmers are failing at the
task.
