Note that the quote was "involves doing evil". This is important and different than a declaration of a career as evil. The meaningless thing is more of an absolute statement however. A career can do (and even mostly do) good and sometimes unavoidably do evil. Likewise a career can be (and even mostly be) meaningful and sometimes unavoidably be meaningless at times! |

But given that we're on a tech forum, I think most people should reflect deeply on the companies they work for and the systems they exist in. If those companies are not already mostly doing evil (as the companies which employ a majority or near-majority of tech workers are), then they're probably venture-capital funded or owned by investors, which means their goal is to maximize profitability over any real metric of doing good. So they will be doing evil in the future, if they're not already, because doing evil is necessary for competing with other companies also doing evil.
Reflecting on a top-level comment from another user about OP using the basic technologies to do things people would often use other tools for, I noticed wild.gr doesn't even use google fonts or other tracking scripts. Its fancy text effects in the hero ("Wild & alive" "& raw" etc) are done entirely with SVG!
Most would certainly provide more data to Google for convenience
