Right, because engineers trained on mobile systems and mapping technology should just start "analyzing Ebola mutations".
The point is that it wouldn't hurt if they would start taking an interest in matters of actual social and economic import.
Rather than just (apparently) bro'ing out at 4am and "collecting a lot of XP." And waking up the whole damn neighborhood.

I mean, do we really need a millionth copy of the same basic CRUD webpage or bullshit webapp just because a small company wants to outcompete another small company on ad revenue? > Rather than just (apparently) bro'ing out at 4am and "collecting a lot of XP." This "bro'ing out at 4 am" will have more "actual social impact" as a side effect of collected data and community created than most of the things programmers write for money. Maybe go pick on web developers. Or sports events organizers. Or tourism industry. It's all bullshit compared to Ebola.
