Rebecca Giblin on chokepoint capitalism

To us as programmers of the very software that enables these kinds of uses of our software IMHO its VERY important to know how it ends up making a lot of loosers in the world - so that we KNOW and can consider our role in this - and maybe say NO - as we, as programmers, are building the world that enables this.

I am happy to see that many programmers are taking stances as to what they want their work to be used for - and to me its really important that we all care about the world we want our kids to live in - instead of short term monetary gains alone - as that will end up being to our own detriment.
