> "allow farmers to repair their own equipment" - What a terrible state of affairs if this is an exception rather than the norm. :(
Blame your fellow 'I'm just making money' loose ethics type programmer, they could just as easily be making drones used to destroy entire apartment buildings or the privacy-intruding facial recognition with that type reasoning, but instead they choose to deny farmers from making the food that you eat instead.
When I was in my last round of job hunting as a data scientist, a recruiter approached me with an offer to interview for a job in "kill chain analytics" for a defense contractor's drones.
Perhaps but I'd blame the executive team that decided that this was the "right" thing to do more. There's a a difference in the responsibility of the person who took the decision vs. the one who was hired to do a job and did it.
