It’s 11:43pm on a Monday night. My 6-week-old son is asleep in my office so my wife can get some uninterrupted rest for the first half of the night. He’s finally asleep now, and I probably should be also after a full day of work. But I’m not done for the day. Even though I’m a software engineer by trade, I’m also a computer programmer by hobby and passion. So I do what I’ve been doing for well over a decade now: I boot up my computer to write some code.

    People who are motivated by money have been saying this for decades. And they’re still wrong because not everyone is motivated by money.

      And they’re still wrong because not everyone is motivated by money.

      How many working people are doing it not because of the money but solely because they enjoy the work?

        I work for money. While I enjoy my work. I wouldn’t do it for free. I have to eat, pay a mortgage, etc.

        Hell even if I wont the lottery. I wouldn’t do this job for free and it’s a really good job.
