I got really angry when I first read this blog post (see my other comment here) and I was thrilled that most people here are as annoyed. I read maxklein's other story (about how programming is procrastination). I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt now. To be blunt, he needs to work on how he communicates. But, I think the gist of what he's trying to say is: there are certain things you need to do if you want to succeed well in business. You have to want to do business (the making money part), but that includes things far beyond programming (for example). I think I see what he means about working with people who want to make money: they have to be in it for the long haul. But even people who would lose interest when they're rich have a long way to go while they're still (relatively speaking) poor. You don't want to discount the Woz's of the world just because their hearts are in the tech. If you do, you lose.
