I agree. But, as I said, it's not an ethics issue for me. I just want to avoid the military culture.

It is pretty cushy, and you don't need to wait for me to abandon it. But you must be a native of my country and a reasonably able Python programmer. If you are, send me a mail.

well what is your country? If this is a throw-away account I can't understand why you can't disclose that?

These companies are really set up to prevent people from doing this.

Your criticism is right, this is a sensationalist appeal. Do you think I shouldn't have made it?

I think ones personal ethics are non-negotionable. Once I have set my limits, I will never work in a field that is off limits.

Additionally, I believe you can always get a job without dropping your personal ethics. The market is huge - just keep looking.

I once had an offer like you do. I declined, and I'm happy now I did.

Good luck!

Do you think my satire contains a moral judgment?

(I hear you like to answer questions with questions over there.)

[python_guy → Estragon]

Touche. Your satire was pretty funny.

If it works, nothing wrong with playing sensationalist games and since you anonymized yourself, well kudos for having balls to take a shot. I personally can't imagine it being particularly effective vs just talking about your skills, but if you went this far did you post it on craigslist in SF, LA, NYC as well?
