So most people as programmers mostly care about writing clean and clear code but very few as I have seen really take their time to understand what ethical rule they are breaking by writing a certain code or by using a certain access in a computer software they are not supposed to use.

Computer Programmers mostly care to give their best in the software they release and deem it bad whatever most people seem to condemn. However, there are certain rules that as computer programmers, we must obey and follow. One of such rules I have found is the 10 commandments of computer ethics.

Most computer programmers break these laws even without noticing them. It is however important to know and be aware of these commandments so that it stands to keep us corrected in the moments when we go wrong. Being wrong is not too bad, but being wrong without noticing it is far more dangerous.

Without these rules and regulations, the powers computer programmers have can easily be corrupted and used for very bad reasons. It is however necessary that we begin to become more aware of more rules than just the ones started in the 10 commandments so that we as computer programmers use our resources in the proper way.

However, to begin becoming conscious is one way, however informing others will also go a long way to make it easy for us all to become more ethical in our ways of programming
