Jesus Belongs in the Ethics Behind What We Build

[D Vandergraph]

Software may be technical, but its consequences are human.

That means Christian developers should ask more than whether something works.

Does it manipulate?

Does it respect privacy?

Does it serve people?

Jesus taught love of neighbor.

In technology, the user is often the neighbor.

Christian faith should shape the decisions behind the code.

Truth.

Service.

Humility.

Responsibility.

The system may not contain religious language.

But the developer can still build under the lordship of Christ.
