While a little harsh I don’t entirely disagree. Depending on your lens, very few of us here on HN are doing something valuable for society.
they are 100% correct.

Are the bright minds at Meta making the world a better place? What about OpenAI? Is the damage AirBnb has done to many communities (and housing stock) useful?

It’s debatable for sure…and hilarious coming from tech folks on this forum. Pretending we’re righteous doctors or something LOL. Give me a break.

For context i’m a software engineer that’s very grateful I don’t work in the ad, retail, or any other “dark pattern” space. But most tech jobs _are_ like that!
