This was the first blog that I found on the matter: https://gardinerbryant.com/the-omarchy-framework-thing/

tldr; DHH is a controversial figure, and Framework are latching onto Omarchy. I think some folks think that Framework's image is being tarnished by working with DHH.

What problems are worth solving?

I'm a software dev, and I feel like I can do more in this world than be a crud-monkey for a Fortune 500 company. However, most of the problems that I see in the world don't seem solvable through software. Does anyone else have this problem? Are there obvious outstanding problems that can be solved through software? If there are, who are the people solving these problems?

Feeling productive probably makes them feel good. To me, people generally just want to have a good time, and some would like to be remembered. If "being productive" accomplishes that on a day-to-day basis and gives them hope that they'll be remembered for it, then best of luck and have at it. To me it seems like a narrow and boring way to live but to each their own.
Just downloaded it, and it's pretty fun. Thanks for sharing and enjoy my $0.95!
Reminds me of a Richard Feynman quote from his biography.

> “Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.”

I think about it quite a bit in my daily life.
