@de22920b For perspective, I spent about 40,000 hours making apps for billionaires before I realized what a waste that was, now I'm trying to make a few video games before I run out of making time and it definitely feels like an improvement! Not sure where the 20,000 or so hours I've spent growing vegetables for people fits in... 

 Imagine how many hours of relax and fun, multiplied for thousands of people, you put in the world. Can't be calculated 

 @de22920b now I feel lazy, the only thing I've spent that much time on is sleeping 

 @de22920b well, at least you didn't cured world peace or established cancer, so making video games isn't that bad finally. 

 @de22920b out of curiosity: do you know what game(s) you were working on at the 10,000 hour mark? 

 @de22920b that's insane. you mean you're an expert 10x over? 

 @de22920b At a rate of 10,000 hours to master something you must be amazing.... Which games? I may want to look at them. 

 @de22920b Some of your games have helped people to dream of a better world. You contributed a lot. 

 @de22920b Oh you've made a far greater impact in this world than I ever will, and I dedicate my life to doing the same thing: videogames.

So you better believe you're contributing with something good bc otherwise, where does that leave me? X) 

 @de22920b You made the first video game I ever played, so indirectly you're also responsible for the ~20,000 hours I must've put in ;) 

 @de22920b considering you brought joy to people you probably made the lieves of a few people longer. And you probably also inspired people to want to make games as well. I think, considering the games you make, that is a good thing.

Unless you do have the forumla for curing cancer in the drawer of your desk and just didn't find it important. That would change things a bit.
