It's not often I find myself disagreeing with mhoye, but this is one of those instances - not about the results, where I agree perfectly, but about the reasons.
As I see it, we as a profession have allowed all of the ways we can relate with the users of the software we write to be shoved aside, so that the only way most people experience software is as a contract. The rest follows.
But somehow out here there are computer-touchers willing to look at an incident where somebody clicks one checkbox in error and loses years of their professional life, and say "well it's your fault for reasons?"
What would it take, in your head, for you to believe the company that built that checkbox, that owns every byte of code and all the infrastructure behind it, has a duty of care? That maybe that company has a positive moral obligation to people, and even - gasp - society?
