If I build something in real life, like a playground, and ask people to come use it, but then through my own negligence it falls apart and becomes a hazard, it is my fault for having created this situation in the first place.
Idk why this keeps getting tied back to paid/unpaid. I can think of many a situation where someone gets paid, and also doesn't care at all to help.

i was responding to a comment about engineering ethics. engineering is a profession. engineering ethics is taught to student engineers in the context of a job, where you're getting paid. taking the (literal classroom) lessons out of context distorts them.
if you go back to your engineering ethics professors and say "gee, but what if i do this work for fun and just stick it up on a web page on the internet", they're going to look at you like you're insane, and then not know what to say.

the last thing this thread needs is more analogies.
