In recent news, Google has put forth a proposal known as the "Web Environment Integrity Explainer", authored by four of its engineers. On the surface, it
Lmao yoavweiss seems to have recently broken the 4 year hiatus on his personal blog to make a new post about how the discussions around this retarded proposal are not constructive enough.
The most constructive that can ever be said about this is “fuck right off” dude.
That’s petty as fuck. I’m an ex google eng and it’s not up to us what we work on. We get paid to work on shit and if we don’t do it someone else will. Plenty of resumes in the pool ready to hop in and take someone’s spot. Blame the company not the people doing the grunt work.
More like blaming the chef in a restaurant chain for the menu. Some corporate entity might be the one crafting the menu, but they’re still the ones cooking.
That isn’t to say we should hound the devs, but I thought we could use a better example.
I fail to see how the engineers building the technical side of this are relevant to this case. It’s not their decision to put this into Chromium or not.
You say that like it’s easy to deal with a sudden loss of income and the potential that their living situation will radically change before they land that new job. I can’t imagine that working at that level leads to particular quick interview and hiring processes.
Please don’t blame the people who were forced to implement this. There are engineers to blame behind all shitty tech in the world. They’re just trying to work a job. There aren’t exactly a lot of jobs in the tech industry where you don’t work for some of the evilest motherfuckers alive building unimaginably evil stuff. I’m all for directing as much hate, vitriol, credible threats of violence, etc at the people on top, but let’s leave the poor sap who they forced to do their dirty work alone.
The engineers to blame are

That’s not right in my opinion.
I’m partial to ‘get fucked’.
You think they acted alone?
They acted.

True, it was not their decision, but they had the choice to show google the middle finger.
The next person would do it then. I don’t see that as a solution.
You always have a decision. Especially when you’re a highly qualified engineer that could choose to work somewhere else easily.

Oh they’re just following orders, is it?
Dude they’re not murdering people they implemented tech use a new browser
Also, it is ‘they’re’, not ‘their’.
Thanks really picked what mattered from an auto correct
An unethical tech which they could’ve refused and turned whistleblower about.
No point in whistleblowing when they are posting blogs about it…asking for feedback.
