Why do I work on developer tools?
Because it’s high leverage + interesting tech.
Why is it high leverage?
Capitalism demands more productive devs.
Why?
Software is eating the world.
Why?
It creates greater economic efficiency.
Why?
Computers are better at boring work than humans.

If you apply 5 Whys heuristic to your work, what root cause do you get? Trivial example:
Why do I work
To make $
Why do I want $?
To pay for lifestyle
Why do I want my lifestyle?
It is comfortable
Why do I want comfort?
To avoid pain
Why do I want to avoid pain?
I dislike pain
