I write software for work but the problems I'm most interested in working on don't require more code.
Lots of deeply sad crisis caused by incompetent leaders but for me it’s hard to see the generational cuts to NASA outlined in this article. Reducing the science team for the Webb telescope to “life support only” is foolish beyond words! It took decades to build, launch, and deploy.
