Take the 2-minute tour ×  I've been thinking about how the
technologies which I see as cool, can provide governments and
private corporations with tools to do things which are not so
cool.  I'm thinking along the lines of involvement with
companies involved in warfare or the weapons industry, but I
suppose there are many scenarios where a person's ethical stance
might be tested.  Are there jobs and projects that you'd turn
down, due to your belief or ethical stance? Do you think that
developers and engineers actually hold any responsibility in
these cases?  share|improve this question  closed as not

think it's fine the way it is. Wiki is for wiki-type stuff and
polls. I think this one deserves to keep its karma. –  Daniel

constructive and useful. I think closing it takes value away
from stackoverflow, rather than the opposite.
