It just has to come from people they care about. These days random people will try to shame you for so many things it's just overload.

Now.. that is not accurate at all. Some people simply respond differently do different stimuli. And those do change with age and experience. It is not a bad idea.

Shame from the in-group still remains effective. Shame from the out-group wanes as an effective tool as polarization increases.

its hard to argue a point where your autonomy trumps, the very thing giving you a salary. We freedom are you really expecting from an employment such as this. You are working for a big tech that is in the midst of layoffs and scrutiny from all angles. One being there is massive competition that at the sightless mishaps will give an advantage to your competitor and that all starts at the bottom meaning hierarchy. Don't expect shame from these companies either. That is ship sailed along ago.

It would still help with public awareness.

I'm sorry but there is no shame in our industry, where are people protesting at conferences calling out devs working on instruments of oppression? Why isn't anyone harassing the devs that take it as a badge of honor to work at companies that profit from human misery?

I don't see it anywhere.

I do it all the time. It gets censored, hidden, downmodded on almost every site.

I sincerely mean this when I say thank you. Tech workers have pilfered the commons and ruined too many innocent lives to sit so high on their pedestal.
