For many, many people, (majority of programmers, really) morals don't have a price tag. That number could be anything. When you make a programmer choose between some number and customer damage, it becomes increasingly harder to damage the end-customer. This is known as "prioritizing customer obsession" over business function (which is what we're supposed to do).

Please, everyone, if there has to be a choice, save us (civilization) not them (the CEOs). Please. Think critically.




This is definitely not true. If most programmers had morals, no one would work for Google, Meta or any of the pay to win game companies.


I thought they meant that it just wasn’t enough money. Of course there are more important factors to a job than just compensation.
