How else can a Silicon Valley programmer convince himself his job is meaningful to society when he's altering CSS tags and writing code to cache requests all day?
"The 0.5% increase in engagement after the A/B test result is making the world a better place." <-- that's not enough anymore, a programmer's employer has to be taking a stand for something now. Not anything that would harm revenue. Something that is meaningful to tech types, like net neutrality.
