Ethics is a latecomer to Software Development, but it has finally arrived

As Technologists, It's Time That We Upgrade The Ethics Of Our Work

Here is a quote:

In Seana Shiffrin’s compelling research paper on the moral dimensions of negligence, she notes that negligence“…involves a failure to take and exercise appropriate responsibility for one’s agency; and, when that failure involves other people, negligence involves a failure properly to recognize and acknowledge their moral significance.”

I can hear people screaming "Too hard for me to understand!" And they are right, it is too hard for them to understand. Ideas for them have to be extremely simple. Most people (perhaps 90 percent of the population) have been thrown into a world, much too complex for them to understand. 

Fortunately. there is the 10 percent, such as this writer. who can understand.
