Why not? If programming were poorly paid scut work, that would be true. But since it's a very highly compensated ticket to the middle class---surely many will do it without love.
Look at the games industry: worse pay, worse hours---those people must love their vocation.
- throwanem 10y ago> Why not? That's not the question. The question is: why? Why is programming such a special field of endeavor that those who approach it may only virtuously do so by vocation, rather than profession? The only other field I know of where that's true is the priesthood. We are not priests. Nor should we be.
