I believe that the best type of technological improvements that someone can make are the types of things that improve a user's experience without them having to necessarily notice or do any additional work. For example one of my favorite improvements was on ios where they made it so the one time authentication login codes get automatically filled in for users with a single click instead of them having to go to their text messages. Or to give another example it's like how users when their windows desktop has an error they're not surprised they expect it, but when their phone has an issue they're surprised it's not as common they it's more intuitive for them.
One of the things that one of my old jobs was we had a code analysis linter software which would automatically check all bits of code to flag potential errors or stylistic issues. Sometimes I wouldn't always understand what those errors meant so I'd have To spend time researching the problem. Once I figured out what the error actually meant I would go back and rewrite the description for those errors and submit that as a pull request so that anyone else who encountered the same error wouldn't have to spend that time doing that research if they weren't already familiar just to clarify the issue. And even better than that I would often if possible write code to automatically suggest Solutions to the problem so they can click one button and the code would be fixed for them. It's the type of thing that fades into the background where a programmer Likely won't think about how their workflow has improved because of this but collectively it will save a lot of time and effort in the long run.
