> could be a requirement for a programmer equivalent of a Professional Engineer to sign off on any piece of software that becomes used in a product or service offered to people
To be honest, it's funny graduating from a 4-year college with an Engineering degree, being offered to be inducted to the order of the Engineer, getting the ring and being told not to sign off on designs that would harm people while being offered thousands of dollars to get people addicted to software.
I wonder if we should call it "programmer's guilt"?
Yeah. As long as the industry is run by ad people, you can forget about ethics in it. Best way is to stay clear of that, but it's getting increasingly difficult.
