Comment on Ask HN: What can I do as a software engineer to help the underpriviliged?

Comments

Ah, this one is easy! See, there is X money chasing Y resources. If you feel that you or your colleagues are having an easy life compared to rest of the world which you should confirm by going to difficult parts of the world, here is a plan for you:

Do something so that projects of the company where you work fail. This will offer some competitive advantage to companies elsewhere, probably one from the difficult place? That's the easiest thing you can do.

You can donate money but I don't think it works. You gotta teach a man how to fish. If you destroy your and your colleagues' fish, they'll be forced to buy fish from underprivileged.
