    I’m glad I work on software that has value, where I control the entire ecosystem, and where my contributions are significant.

      Yeah, it was a great feeling when I had it for the first year and a bit of my career working on architecture software. I had it again recently when working on back end auth systems for a major automotive company but then we lost the contract and I had to rotate off. Now I work building software that is necessary, but the parts that are prioritized for development aren’t the parts that make the average workers’ life easier (which would increase overall efficiency when measured on a time basis) but the parts that enrich management because that’s easier to sell.
