Morals aren’t always involved in commercial software development, and likely they never have been in any of your workplaces. However, I think it’s a gross mischaracterization to claim that morals and business don’t have any overlap. I work in the health tech industry, and I feel good knowing that patients benefit from using our device. I know I wouldn’t feel the same way if I was working at some fintech optimizing stock trading to the Nth degree.

The only difference between your workplaces and mine is that I recognise the nature of for-profit enterprise, notwithstanding your naiveté.

I work in healthcare and patient care occurs in spite of commercial software development, not because of it.
