Such rhetoric again fails to note why such work is “work”: a significant fraction of the effort isn’t fun & fulfilling, it’s unpleasant and nobody would do it except others will pay to get it done at a price higher than what the workers could earn doing something else. Food/housing/etc isn’t free. We pay others, and get paid, to efficiently rearrange workloads for better results at less effort. I write security software because few can do what I’m good at but millions need it; in return I pay others to make/do the myriad things I can’t do well. Few indeed would (out of love for the art) continue such work without profitable compensation; I like my job, but don’t wrangle encrypted keys just for fun & fulfillment.
