What you do is try to provide value to the business. I.e. How does this company make money? What is preventing them from having more business or from saving money providing the same goods/services? If among those challenges there is something that can be addressed with better technology in an area of your expertise, you make a proposal to your management, and if you are lucky they will give you the "go ahead". In the real world, though, as a junior developer, somebody with much more expertise in the business and the technology side of things will be the one making these proposals and your job as a junior person will be to implement them. Get good enough at implementing them, show enough initiative, skill and business acumen, and over time you will be the one proposing ideas. You will need both hard work and good luck to succeed. Do that... or collect a paycheck and live your life. That also works.
