I want to reiterate that this question wasn't meant as a criticism or lecturing or to diminish the tremendous accomplishments thus far. I genuinely think we live in times of great change and serious problems that need addressing. I don't I even grok the problems much less the solutions at this point so that was my goal to increase understanding to be able to particate in a more meaningful and useful way myself. I've not exactly spent my years in the tech industry doing work that I think was anything more than services that helped business people accomplish some of their goals. That's something but not exactly the most important problems. Any side projects I've worked on I've done so simply because it was something that caught my interest. So god knows, many if not most of people who read HN are probably contributing more than I am.
