Your own minimum standard needs to be maintained, even when doing the work for others.

That's not always legal; when hired to do a job, you're really only legally allowed do what your superiors tell you. It's their money and their company, not yours. Using it to advance your own personal goals is unethical at best, and even criminal at worst.

If you find it morally objectionable to do a certain task, you can always resign. I've done it ( in the middle of the .com bust, too). I didn't regret it, though money was tight for a while.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


No such thing as a small change
