Ask HN: Software Engineering for Social Good?
I think a lot about the societal impact of software. So much software seems to have a strongly negative impact or be mostly irrelevant to society at large.
This post isn't about enumerating the tech industries sins; the Center for Humane Technology does a good job: https://www.humanetech.com
Instead, I'd love to hear from people who feel passionately that the software they work on is part of "making the world a better place."
* What's the positive human impact of your work? * Do you work in or for charities, non-profits / NGOs, or the government? * Have you made sacrifices to be part of that work?
