Programmers should try to solve problems and not try to achieve lofty goals set by management like "improve the copy experience".

When you try to achieve goals set by management you compile all the problems together into one package, nicely designed or not, without actually solving any of the root concerns.

How you really bring results as a programmer is when you divide the issues into the smallest reasonable parts and then find the best way forward for each one of them.

And then later bringing all of the separate lines of work together into one whole symphony of code and experience, so to speak.
