> I just didn't enjoy writing code for money I think you've touched on something essential here. It may explain the continuous appeal of open source.

I'm also reminded of a cynical quote from my dad. When I was young I asked him "Was work fun?" to which he responded "If work was fun they wouldn't pay you."
