>If Shopify can deliver its software with less people, that’s better for society.

What specific measures of society are better?

Please use whatever metrics you deem relevant however I'll propose a few options to choose from based on the Harvard Human Flourishing Program [1]:

1. Happiness and life satisfaction

2. Mental and physical health

3. Meaning and purpose

4. Character and virtue

5. Close social relationships
