Jesus Belongs in the Decisions Behind the Interface
D Vandergraph
Code.
APIs.
Databases.
Interfaces.
But software shapes people’s choices and experiences.
Jesus teaches Christians to love their neighbor.
That includes users.
Do not manipulate attention simply because the metric rewards it.
Do not hide important information behind friction.
Do not exploit weakness.
Build truthfully.
Serve people well.
Christ may not appear in the interface.
But He should appear in the character of the people making the decisions behind it.
