> I believe that as a programmer, it's your duty to spend some time doing stuff your manager didn't know he needed to ask you to do, rather than running personal errands.

--------------

I believe in dealing in good faith with people who deal with me in good faith. But it has nothing special to do with being a programmer; it's something I'd do in any job, and it is reciprocal. There's an implied agreement that they're going to try to treat me decently and there's an implied agreement that I'll do the same for them. If either of us breach that, I strongly desire the other party to defect.
