Is farming not helping people to produce the food they need? Can you categorize jobs and the actions involved in them into the path of “farmer” (those who do standard work to produce for many) or “artisan” (those who do unique work to solve problems for few/many)?

Maybe it’s overreaching, but I like to see it as the writer saying unless your job provides a “good” to world and doesn’t just move bits from one database to another then its a good path.

Theres flaws with that approach too, but one I would give them benefit for.
