100%.
I work in tech and my entire career has not benefitted the public in any way. Its often even actively harmful. If someone knocked out the entire internet somehow and handed me a rake, the world would be a better more productive place, and psychologists say we’d all be happier.
I didnt love being poor before I took on this career though. Straight out of college I had to save up at a terrible job to buy a pair of pants to go to tech interviews, and I couldnt afford parking downtown to go to them.
All that wasted energy for products no one asked for that are objectively trash.
