I feel that's in bad taste as Ukraine is defending against a foreign invasion. You can tell Russia to stop the war, they can just go home. Ukraine does not have that luxury.

Unfortunately it only takes one dictator to make a war happen. Then it takes millions of lives to end it.

I suspect most people are with you. Possibly the vast majority.

The vast majority don't decide these things though. I suspect a few of us with oversized ego do.

This comment looks almost hand-crafted to drag the thread into a flame war.

The cognitive dissonance that happens with tech workers believing their own work isn’t some form of blood money in the end is comical.

Of all my colleagues I've had the chance to have a real talk with, defense was the only vertical where the developers more-often-than-not had a robust understanding of the moral and ethical questions their products posed.

I might disagree with their choice to work there, but I respect that choice 1000 times more than the unexamined position.

The default attitude I see elsewhere is that everyone has decided their employer is benign, and they'll figure out the "why" part later (or never).
