I tried the 'change the world'. I got so messed up at that job and ultimately the market went with product Y instead because it was an easier sale to the bean counters. Then I went to just a job to pay the bills after leaving the Bay Area. I took a few seconds off the time of the average of something used by a lot of people and saved a ton of cumulative time for humanity. But...the road to hell is paved with good intentions. My original "make the world better software" had a side effect I didn't know/understand in that the savings came at a indirect cost, people wouldn't get something subsidized anymore (because my efficiency removed the need to give it away). Imagine improving say the food supply chain at grocery stores and making groceries cheaper, but at the cost of less goods damaged and then donated to food banks. Indirectly people suffered, maybe died. Tried to make the world better = Killed people for money.* Didn't care = Saved the equivalent of 80 lifespans at least so far. *For legal reason I want to clarify indirectly. Not through negligence or malice. Improved efficiency reduced companies donating excess.
