Even if it is true OP feels unfulfilled, they are trying to rationalise what their difference is. I celebrate this. It is absolutely better than to make people question whether or not their social contribution is worthy.
Software does change lives, and building the social awareness of this implication is important. Chastising those who mention social implications in their software pitches doesn't help to make consideration of social impact a normal part of software development.
oh please, so now every time someone claims they want to "change lives" we must heap praise on them just in case someone at some point will actually want to do it?
does software change peoples lives? absolutely. should we be encouraging people to participate and build software that can legitimately achieve this? absolutely. is there a pervasiveness in tech to constantly frame, no matter what technology is being worked on, in the light of "changing lives"? in my opinion, yes. I see it constantly in the tech industry, and at this point it is essentially a marketing gimmick. im saying I find it irritating that the tech industry is unable to market themselves and their technologies without this blanket statement.
It didn't really hit the mark - but working with Blockly was a great experience nonetheless
