What is worth accomplishing?

Doug links to a discussion of the virtues of application development vs programming that lines up with my reading for today, a chapter by Ray Ozzie in Founders at Work.

A quote from Ray:

I'm an engineer by training and I tend to be one of those people who believes he can accomplish basically anything in software - it's just a big toolbox. So if you know that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to, what's worth accomplishing?

If you start with the base assumption that you can accomplish anything in software, what is worth accomplishing becomes a very interesting question to ask!
