Ask HN: What is the most meaningful work you have done?
So I’ve done everything from parsing XML in the 2000s with java, to writing VXLan kernel drivers for SmartOS. It’s been a blast!
However, I’m not sure any of the work I did has really done anything to “make the world a better place.” I’m having a hard time seeing software as anything other then a more optimized way of removing money from someone’s wallet and concentrating it in someone else’s wallet.
So I want to know, how do people make software work meaningful, and how do you see it making the world better?
