Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This post discusses three real-life cases where engineers and engineering managers faced ethical dilemmas in their workplaces. At FTX, engineering director Nishad Singh discovered potential fraud but chose to stay and attempt to resolve it, resulting in legal consequences. In contrast, an engineer refused to fabricate user data and faced no legal consequences at a startup called Frank. A deliberate double charging incident occurred at Pollen and the engineer involved expressed regret for their actions.
