My honest question for you is what you think it means to be doing something meaningful?

Frankly, the world these days are filled with suits working jobs they either hate or you're a dude working a job you like that pays you nothing. We're not really in a place to help people with platitudes about "making a meaningful life" when there's no meaning to be had.

But perhaps it's the absurdist in me who feels this way. For the record, I have an OK programming job, and could probably make more money had I decided to not go into games fwiw.

    Its more about improving their life than making life meaningful. I mean to most people, working a 40hr office job is preferable to being on the street.

    Im one of the very lucky few that have an awesome job with great bosses and Co workers who are actually doing somewhat important work, or at least work we dont hate.

    I think that's really cool youre in game programming. It always seemed really interesting to me but id be more interested in the story writing and music aspect of games.
