I'm a programmer that eventually would like to be in a leadership position.
In the long run, my net gain to the world will be greater if I can make that happen. I could code something really good that does X good for the world, but if I were able to coordinate 10 programmers to create something that does 10X good, that would be better. Even if they were only able to do 5X, that's still more than the 1X I would be able to do myself. They may separately create more value were I not to organize them, but I have no control over or guarantee of that.
I also like writing code, but at the end of the day, writing code is not what truly fulfills me - it's what my code does.
