你的软件没有价值吗？

软件开发忽略了人的价值。作为一个社会，我们所依赖的软件系统既不符合也不尊重我们的核心价值观，比如透明度、性别多样性、社会公正和个人诚信。过去50年的软件工程一直关注于功能、成本、安全性、可用性和安全性。但是，更广泛的人类价值观（图1），如同情心、社会责任和正义呢？我们设计软件的方式从根本上影响着社会，然而人类的价值——我们都声称关心的——在软件工程中一直是一个次要问题。（参见“软件的价值在哪里？”）
Software development ignores human values. As a society, we rely on software systems that neither align with nor respect our core values, such as transparency, gender diversity, social justice, and personal integrity. The past 50 years of software engineering have focused on functionality, cost, safety, availability, and security. But what about broader human values (Figure 1) such as compassion, social responsibility, and justice? The way we design software fundamentally influences society, yet human values-which we would all claim to care about-have been a side concern in software engineering.
