Really, Brad? Software Engineers need a hippocratic oath?

This is the most hypocritical, low-minded dirty blow, pass-the-buck mentality I have seen in a long time. That's even counting most of what Trump has said. You should be ashamed of yourself, Brad.

How dare you make that remark when your WHOLE PLATFORM is built on shady business practices and monopoly leveraging? How dare you try to shunt the blame on software engineers when YOU YOURSELF profit from lack of ethics and participate in systematic blacklisting of engineers? You earn seven figures a year AT LEAST and are trying to blame people just doing their jobs, and telling them they should look at the big picture and they should "have principles" to basically refuse to work or quit? While at the same time actively preventing these kinds of people from finding ethical work elsewhere?

Put your money where your mouth is or stop spewing Trumpian bullshit, Brad. Anybody who buys this needs to have their head examined. With a cactus.
