What is the most unethical thing you've done as a programmer?
There was an article recently about cell service providers selling extremely granular location data, and some of the programmers working on those systems immediately showed up on HN to comment on their moral dilemma. I suspect it's not an isolated case.
I suspect for a whole lot of HN readers they sold their ethics for coin. They could have made reasonable money anywhere but they chose to gather data and watch others.
I changed the dates on a git commit so it looked like I was working through my lunch break. In reality I was taking a shit while browsing Twitter on my phone.
sometimes i rush in one day a task scheduled for a week and then turn on a bot that commits every few hours so that the task will be completed as scheduled.
