You're lucky, in my software development career I've been automatizing other people work so they could be fired. It isn't so directly, but is really what happens after some years. Selling art tickets is a noble work.
Automating other people's work is improving the world quite a bit, if maybe only indirectly - you're now setting those people free so they can do something else instead! Though of course it's better to automate yourself out of work as much you can, because no one knows the relevant tradeoffs better than you.
