There is no universal definition of purpose, or meaning, to the universe the human race even will cease to meaningless let alone an individual, we may too small and weak to do anything meaningful. I am just drifting away like billion of other things, but you were chosen to be live, then your purpose is just to live the best out of it.

By living the best out of it, you need to make the biggest possible impact on the world you were created. Leave the best and greatest influence to people. As a developer, it means develop App that really helped users, contributing to open source that really benefit the peer developers, creating startup that make people's life easier, invent something that make the world better place. All of those made by small steps. Start from small goals and eventually you will make a big dent in this universe.

I appreciate your way of thinking. Would add that there are important app use cases that we should focus on. Although what those are in detail is up to you. Climate change, poverty, biodiversity loss, poor health for example.
