alt Hacker NewsThe shoe is what the shoe does.
Except one shoe is made by children in a fire-trap sweatshop with no breaks, and the other was made by a well paid adult in good working conditions.
The ends don’t justify the means. The process of making impacts the output in ways that are subtle and important, but even holding the output as a fixed thing - the process of making still matters, at least to the people making it.

Being shoes, offshoring, Webwidgets or AI generated code.

The end is whether the code meets the functional and non functional requirements.
And guess how much shoe companies make who manufacture shoes in sweatshop conditions versus the ones who make artisanal handcrafted shoes?
