A question came into focus for me yesterday: is the success of Open Source for early-in-career folks building portfolios a contributor to frontend's ethical dessication?
OSS is "software for me, incidentally for thee"; does introducing that ethos to young programmers keep us from driving home the lesson that when you get paid to write code, your responsibilities are to users and customers?
