While I understand that many of you and many of our community members would prefer we had no business relationship with DHS-ICE, I have made a principled decision with the support of the Chef executive team, to work with the institutions of our government, regardless of whether or not we personally agree with their various policies. I want to be clear that this decision is not about contract value - it is about maintaining a consistent and fair business approach in these volatile times.

Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.

Constantly Ignoring, Constantly Deflecting: A Case Study of Pervasive Indifference in Technology

By Jocelyn Harper

Constantly Ignoring, Constantly Deflecting: A Case Study of Pervasive Indifference in Technology

Too often as technologists, we want to align ourselves with the apolitical when it comes to the products that we diligently work on. Over the past few years, and more so over the past couple of months, it is more evident than ever that the choices that the companies we work for and efforts that we support directly impact our society for decades to come in significant ways. With great power, comes great responsibility, and with great responsibility comes the hard reality that we’re not just writing code and never were. With brief looks into Girl Develop It, npm Registry, Chef, and more, we will look at the historical context of these organizations and how by ignoring these apolitical stances we are feeding back into the cycle.
