I've been working on an award flight search tool -- theres so many interesting problems to solve: - How do you bypass bot detection? - How do you achieve fast loading results? - How are you able to teach users how to get the best deals possible w/ award travel.

Theres so much more to do in terms of reliability (bypassing bot detection) and onboarding new programs (right now, only American, jetBlue, Delta, Virgin Atlantic and Alaska are supported). But progress has been good and im excited about it. https://awardlocker.com

Theres large portions of the tech industry that are pretty useless to society too while paying incredibly high salaries random examples include: - facebook/google ads teams - various SaaSLOP companies

Lots of smart engineers that work on making buttons pretty and A/B testing crap rather than pushing the boundaries of science.
