Did you just use making the world a better place in a non-ironical way?
That stuff is from comedy, not reality. You can't make the world a better place from your computer. You can make money, you can build nice programs, but not make the world a better place.
- asow92 5y agoCan you make the world a worse place from your computer?
- poulsbohemian 5y agoI know what you are saying and to a large degree I agree with you. But, I will note that in my career the software I worked on helped people get health care, helped abused children find help, kept pilots and their passengers safe, and a whole lot of other worthwhile missions. So if your skill set is tech, there are opportunities out there apart from just selling more advertising.
- crossroadsguy 5y agoWhat are some companies that pay well (not ridiculously well), offer job security and have kinda longer release plans which can foster learning, stable products, and can ensure a san work culture that respects the personal time boundaries as the default?
- poulsbohemian 5y agoIf I knew the answer to that, I’d probably still be working in tech ;-)
- bradknowles 5y agoWith respect, I must disagree. I think there are some serious problems in this world that we can help solve from our computers, and in addition to the company making some profit, the world as a whole can also benefit. We will see.
- crossroadsguy 5y agoPlease name some that pays well and doesn’t burn me out of sanity. Genuinely interested in knowing. And I’m not even interested in intergalactic salaries but yes very good pay.
- asow92 5y agoGood pay is relative. What’s good pay to you?
