Modern weapons require cutting edge engineering. Going after web devs but leaving alone engineers who created litteral death machines would be an interesting position.

Now, engineers could decide to make software engineering a real discipline by getting a regulatory body with and start enforcing the tittle properly (but this is widely unpopular and as far as I know, not done anywhere).



I’m talking about going after developers in the sense of “subcontractors”, not humans.

Also, weapons manufacturing isn’t illegal I can’t see how there could be a case for going after anyone for it? We don’t have a morality and ethics police (at least not in most western countries)
