I guess the question I have is, what about political issues that are inherently part of the work you’re doing?
Is it reasonable to talk about the politics of building a widget that will have an effect on people?
I work in marketing and end up having this type of political discussion fairly frequently with bosses and colleagues. How are we tracking folks? What data are we collecting? What does the law say we can do? What’s our risk tolerance for breaking the law? These are all inherently political things that should be addressed and thought about. Burying our heads in the sand isn’t productive.
