Thanks for digging these out. All great reads for my Thursday morning! 👏

Turns out he’s not the only one who’s written an oath for their tech job. Nick Hodges wrote an Hippocratic Oath for developers in 2020 (“I’ll be teachable”) and Xian Gu proposed a designer’s Oath in 2023 (“focus on long-term wellness”). Here’s another designer’s creed, written by the founder of a branding studio in Chicago. I like this line: “I will apply, for the benefit of culture, all measures which are required, avoiding those twin traps of awards and self-congratulation.”
