(It does explain the whole webdev/javascript situation a bit, I would claim.) I don't mind people entering this field with a goal of getting rich. The problem is when that is their only motivation. There are definitely lots of other factors at play here, but I kinda look back at the late 90s/early 00s with nostalgia. It seemed like most of the people you worked with, or even interviewed back then had some basic level of sincere passion for the field. Today that's not really the case. That makes the work less fun.
