As a software dev, mainly that people enjoy using it.

99% of the proprietary software work I did for companies was work that was societally useless, and eventually thrown in the trash. Here I get to make software that improves peoples lives in a tiny way, and is a form of social media that hopefully ๐Ÿคž doesn't destroy people's mental well-being: is easy to put down, and enjoyable to use.
