    More, but not much more. Presumably the developers have more capability to get another job elsewhere and are less constrained by economic neccessity. Even then though their amount of “guilt” is tiny compared to those in decision making roles.

      You’d be surprised, I’ve written a long comment about it but I’ve been trying to get another job for around two years now and it’s been completely impossible. Part of it is because I don’t have any formal education in the field (despite years of experience), but a lot of it is that the developer job market went to absolute shit after COVID and all that’s left now is nothing but evil companies.

      My options for applications are basically AI startups, crypto start ups, banks and tech companies that are too competitive to ever give me an interview even if they’re somehow ethical.

        Maybe, I started a new job 9 months ago going down on the evil scale, but I was meaning in general not specific to now or anywhere in particular. It might not be a great time to get a new job as a dev, but you still almost certainly have more freedom to do so than a janitor.
