I watched this in 2020 even though it's from EuroBSDCon 2019. I'm talking about Patricia Aas keynote "Embedded Ethics": ▶ this 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. ▶ this 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. ▶ this video
EuroBSDcon 2019 Keynote by Patricia Aas: Embedded Ethics ( ▶ this video / slides: link ) Because, sometimes you need to worry less about the gritty details of the tech and take a step back and look at the bigger picture.
