Ethics and Morality and Technology, Oh My!

In this episodes we veer off into the weeds on ethics, morality, and how they relate to technology. We talk about some controversial happenings in the tech world regarding the Lerna licensing change, and how that relates to the jobs we do every day.

Should we be concerned about who uses the things we build, and what they use it for? What’s our line in terms of when something is too egregious, and how active should we be in deciding what is right and wrong?

This is a long largely philosophical discussion that touches on many of these topics. We had some minor audio issues (including losing Michael for a bit), but we hope you’ll bear with them and tune in for the discussion!
