Yes, this is exactly what you think, the IBM machine used by Nazis Cense people and, well you now the rest….

The story always repeats itself, yesterday were the IBM machines for the Nazis (Created by devs) and today are the hacktatones and Google and Facebook’s off course ¿Why?, Because geeks Create Google Facebook’s Machine learning and IBM whatzon by the way, but the problem not be this thechnologyes the problem is the how coders are used by companies for example.

Sound great! A bunch of geeks showing their talents(egos) in front off people that aims you to “Change the way we live” but the problem is they are using you to create thing that they don’t but the problems is when this things are used to people surveillance manipulation and corruption and more thing that only interested to governments, politics and evil corporations.

I don’t know what the future my children’s we see but I think that the future are created by salesman’s, Coders, Narcos and War Lord’s the question is ¿I’m writing ethical code no only code you and pay me?, Because don’t know if your code finally ends in a dashboard of a Government Corporation or Helping people brings your dreams to the reality for example Kickstarter.
