One problem with software, is the value you bring to society. Software being everywhere, it's often difficult to see if your work makes a difference or if it makes sense.

Software is often short lived and thrown away after some time, and it often justifies buying hardware.

In my view, software is unregulated in both quality and security, which makes programming quite messy.

I'm generally against the writing of software unless there is no other way. I would rather have people learn scripting and use normal tools like email etc rather than hear them "we should create an app to share information".
