I mean, I'm a dev at a big company, and I would definitely feel gross about implementing this.
I'd still do it, cause I gotta pay my bills somehow, but I definitely wouldn't enjoy it.
Fair enough. I worked at Facebook, Google, then LinkedIn, so I guess all the passion got drained from me until I quit and started working on my own product.
(LinkedIn was actually pretty good. I was working on an internal tool though.)
Honestly, fair point to you as well. I've been lucky enough to work at a company that does at least try to care about things. I imagine if these soul-sucking tasks were an everyday thing, I'd probably tone down the ol' moral compass a bit just to get through.
