I watched this in 2020 even though it's from EuroBSDCon 2019. I'm talking about Patricia Aas keynote "Embedded Ethics": [VIDEO] Hasn't aged one bit. If anything Patricia is spot on pretty much everything. If you don't have time to spend on this, you may want to take a look at the slides: [LINK]

For engineers reading this who work at a tech company, or well, any company. Watch this keynote talk by Patricia Aas. It's called Embedded Ethics. And it is crystal clear many of you need to watch it. [VIDEO]

On another topic, someone recently posted this youtube video of a Norwegian engineer explaining her views on tech worker ethics, how we've got here and maybe a way to fix it or atleast improve on the current situation. I'd recommend showing it to your commute buddies. It really resonated with my thoughts, how I've viewed the tech world and my (tiny) part in it. [VIDEO]
