You can rationalize anything if you ignore your responsibilities to other people. Ultimately that’s just a long way around to being a crappy person.

just a meta comment about the comment you replied to.

I am consistently surprised by the levels of self-righteous hubris in the techbro community. People rationalising horrible behaviour and perpetuating the tragedy of the commons, just with computers.

I'm old enough for nostalgia so i regularly find myself pining for the days when the software industry was smaller and the nerds arena was not taken over by the MBA types and temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
