That's funny I usually think the opposite. I derive no satisfaction from writing software for dubious ends. Understanding product value and/or helping to determine priorities makes things feel more tangible. Maybe better to say that you should find your own happy place.

The problem is you can control the first but not the latter. You can control doing quality technical work. You cant really control whether what you do has much value (the market decides that, not you)
