    "I'm just writing the code" is not a defense for everything—neither was "I just followed orders". Software unaccountability will not last.https://twitter.com/reuters/status/901134610662387718 …

        Software is eating decision-making. We hold people in decision-making power accountable for their decisions. A thorny transition awaits.

        I once read that there are only two products where creators aren't held liable for damage caused by their creations: religion and software.
