This is going to be unpopular on HN but lots of software jobs are also pointless. So much effort gets put into automating things like finance or improving advertising. These things don't really add a lot of value to society but instead extract value from it. I know I'm hypocritical because I myself work in one of these areas but lately the lack of purpose has been hitting me hard.
Well its hard to see the point of building a knowledge base that's entirely at the whims of a company and needs me to be online. I prefer to use something like Obsidian that I can control synching behavior.
I kinda regret getting an m1 macbook pro last year. This seems like a much better machine for my purposes. :( Hoping framework will contusion updating this line by the time I need another laptop.
