I've been interested in programming since Grade 8. I used to "give back" by helping out strangers online. I had an online forum where I helped people from south asia make websites.

Lately, I've been feeling like a clog in the machine, just writing code that barely has any real impact on anyone (I work for a bank).

What are some of the ways you use your knowledge/skills to help people? I've volunteered as mentor for new immigrants, junior devs, and helped fix computer at community centres, but it looks like that's all I can offer with tech skills.
