If the comments on this website are any indication I'd wager a great many people in tech haven't spent even a single minute of their lives seriously thinking about ethics, nevermind studying ethics in a classroom

- first 10 years of my career, ethics was last thing on my mind

- second 10 years of my career, started seriously thinking about ethics

- last 10 years of my career (including now) - would not work for Big Tech etc if they gave me 9-digit / year compensation package

That has probably more to do with you bank account digits.

I'm on the inverse moral ladder currently, specially as more and more services are privatized (public health here is on fast-track to be americanized).

I guess that's why I'm always angry when I'm reading comments here

I know I don't have all the answers, but I minored in philosophy in school. I studied ethics quite a lot and being ethical has always been very important to me

I never had 20 years of "let's burn down everything in my way as long as it pays well"

Do you have privatized healthcare in your country?
