throwaway every developer i know at FAANG, SaaS, or the hundreds of other companies where the core problem is already solved or the business model is net useless to humanity falls into one of two buckets 1. has an extraordinarily rich inner life and is happy with being able to churn away for 20–40 hours a week on useless things, and return to their family/friends/hobbies with a huge check 2. is on antidepressants and desperately trying to find meaning meanwhile, all the dev friends i have who work in biotech or healthcare are all pretty happy, maybe a little peeved at their lowered salary, but otherwise feel extreme confidence that they are doing good for the world pick your poison i guess, i chose biotech and am extremely happy with my decision, going on 2.5 years now
