Surgeons save lives which they may find important and motivating per se.

Grinding meaningless Javascript to deliver more advertisements and conflict to people is neither motivating nor important, or at least it shouldn't be to a responsive person.

1) Not all surgeons save lives

2) Not everyone can be a doctor

We can all find meaning in our own work.
