I remember a few years there was a comment or a linked piece on HN in which someone (a programmer) said (I paraphrase):

I am quitting my job because I've just realized that everything, without exception, that I've done as a programmer has been done with the goal of making already rich people even richer.

>I am quitting my job because I've just realized that everything, without exception, that I've done as a programmer has been done with the goal of making already rich people even richer.

Do you have an idea as to what your new job will be, and if so, and will you be doing to ensure that you won't be making rich people even richer in this new position?

That was a quote. I am not quitting my job, and that quote did not describe my life as a programmer (though I did help one famously rich person get that way).
