Leaving them no option but to continue building surveillance software?

Rather than hope for a chance to make someone else miserable I’d rather people just weren’t building this stuff to begin with.

It doesn't matter if they can't hire good talent. The guys running these businesses believe they're "just making tools for the good guys" (actual interview quote from a psychotic surveillance company I turned down a while back). We want to make sure they can only recruit the dumbest codemonkeys and spaghetti chefs that money can buy so their products go nowhere.
