Value Driven Development
summary
Argument asserts software should reduce suffering and developers hold power shown when employees force Microsoft to drop a nearly $20 billion contract. Concrete examples include donation and accessibility projects like Good to go, Be My Eyes and the Red Cross CBS repo plus logistics work in Distribute Aid that solves refugee shipping costs and performance constraints. Advice is actionable: choose employers by values, ask concrete hiring questions, contribute to open source projects that deliver measurable value, and measure who benefits.
