Personally I've become pretty jaded at the entire tech industry. The majority of companies in the industry are not solving real problems :\ We're making the world mildly more convenient.

This is something I've been pondering alot myself.

To write code that matters you must define what matters to you. Once you know what matters to you, you must answer the question: how might software help? In many cases it may not help, that's okay too. Maybe there are other ways you can apply your skills, or other skills you can learn.

Whatsapp and Youtube are way more convenient then the previous alternatives in my opinion, and I think we will eventually have more widespread use of open source and decentralized versions of these to combat censorship issues.

Software is immensely helpful. But maybe your average bs b2b SaaS app that is merely devised to take money out of each others pockets is less meaningful and helpful to our world.
