alt Hacker NewsAll engineers know to be on the lookout for executives who are indirectly asking them to break the law to raise the quarterly profits.
The end goal is to take the engineers out of the loop, or leave them in a position where they are unable to complain.
This is going to all end in high crimes.
Very strange worldview you have there, where engineers are somehow the conscience of the world, holding back greedy managers from breaking the law. Assessing whether a feature is legal isn't something an engineer can or should do.
