A new discussion of the ethics of software engineering might be valuable. Other professions have codes of ethics; maybe it's time for software, too.

cf. ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct: https://www.acm.org/about-acm/acm-code-of-ethics-and-profess...

I like most of the ACM code. I think it could use an update with more direct prohibitions on modern forms of user harm, such as trading in private information and manipulating search results to promote low quality sites.

At least no underhanded techniques have been used to deliver it to you.
