I'm happy to be lucky that my last two jobs have been either writing code for scientific charities or safety software. I'm fairly sure my code has never once harmed anyone, and may have even saved lives, maybe... Maybe it's not important enough to actively save a life, but it at least stopped people making stupid mistakes that could lead to people dying.
Thank you for your service!
