While I believe selling zero days to NSO group is significantly worse than working for Google or building surveillance capitalism software - we are mercenaries. Like 60% of software work is vehemently anti-middle class. Almost all of us have either contributed to some spying apparatus (analytics platforms), build some automation that replaced several humans, or developed something that contributed to the environmental destruction of our planet.

Let's be clear though, I'm not saying tech is bad. We'd all be doing manual labor on a a farm without it. I do think our demographic (including myself) has completely set aside any consideration for our impact in the name of optimization or a fat paycheck.
