Software doesn't have to be about automating people out of their jobs. You could be writing software for drones or some shit like that which brings new pleasure or value or both to another person's home or work life. It is complicated yes but it's not a life sentence of working on bad stuff. Your expertise enables you to work on positive things. I hope you find the role that lets you work on those things.
