It happens. Let's not pretend that everything we do changes the world or is even meaningful. It pays our bills and lets us do what matters to us.

On a less cynical tone, 6-18 months on a project, then we change company, or get fired, or the company shuts down for good. Some of my startup customers pivoted or shut down. I got paid, not my problem.

Anyway, it's better to work on successful projects. They expand the business.
