    It’s taken me about 6 years to understand how it works and what it does, but I’m finally starting to get it.

    I hate software. Why am I in this job still

      I think most jobs are like this.

      The entry level stuff is pleasant and manageable and easy, but if you progress far enough to make money you produce value by managing unsolvable problems which is stressful, frustrating, and difficult.

        Does managing those problems improve the material conditions of the planet and humanity? If not, then I am not sure you can say it produces value. If you work for a company owned by the 0.1% then your labor does the opposite, the more wealth you create for the oligarchs the more power they have to destroy the planet and democracy
