@thomasfuchs my best and favorite book recommendation along those lines is THE HUMANE INTERFACE by Jef Raskin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Humane_Interface
He proposes a similar set of rules as Asimov's Laws of Robotics, but from looking at software development first through a harm reduction lens because of the impact we have at scale with the stuff we (programmers) write.
@toolbear will check it out thx
