You can work in bioinformatics, the pay is lower than FAANG, but your code will benefit society.

In addition to other comments,read about Ada Lovelace. She was brilliant, she wrote the first program, and done so before we had computers!
Where did I say they shouldn't?
My message comes within a context.
Improvements in storage allow for longer transportation. This is but one example.
There are many other improvements, from more efficient water usage to reducing the need for other costly interventions.
Some may be possible to allow richer agriculture in poorer areas, reducing the need for distribution.
Pegasus, and probably other tools, can infect phones through ads. Google's ads network is a weapon.
Your comment is unrelated what-so-ever to what I wrote.
I'm not rich, I chose to earn less money and live a lower quality apartment.
We don't have many years to work on solutions. You may never have enough for you and yours.
Green revolution?
The newest solution I know of is using optimization algorithms to vastly reduce the cost of experiments on vegetables storage. They not only showed how to optimize storage, they also showed how to store certain types cheaply for 4 times long.
One of the issues is food distribution, and that will help there.
Bioinformatics isn't used only for medical research or within big companies. Sub-topics like metagenomics, that are helpful in many areas of research, require high level of technical knowledge, that the life science people don't have.
