Time is precious. The tasks I work on, no matter how trivial they seem to me personally, will save time in aggregate for all my users and the staff that supports them. I'm humbled by the trust they place in me to shift a widget, because they judged it would help them make better use of their time, and they believe I can help them achieve that.

As far as we know, we're alone in the universe. Programs are for people. We're counting on each other. To me, that's enough. Vent about a nuisance, fret about unanticipated consequences, but don't lose sight of that essential truth of programming.
