Thankfully I'm not in this position but if I were I would plead my case the the higher powers to try to make a convincing argument to create value without the security or privacy risks.

Now, let's say that failed and now we're in the sprint where this module has to be written. Single me probably would quit and look for a new job. Married with children me does not have such a luxury. Even though the job market for developers is great, it's still not easy. Let's be real, even an experienced developer has to do serious refreshers to pass some of these interviews. There's also tons of crappy companies out there to sift through. So I would likely have to continue doing my work until I found a new job at which point I'd be free to blow the whistle. I wouldn't be able to quit on the spot though. I think the ease of getting a senior level developer job is not quite as easy as people make it sound in bootcamp advertisements.

I understand your point also man. Clearly it’s a problem. But what if there is a way to keep your job as well as do good the world. By blowing the whistle Anonymously. 😈
