* Because I've tried a lot of other things and they don't hold my interest. * Because... must... write... code.... * Because I want to solve the money problem * Because life is too short to be a wage slave * Because I like hanging out with other smart people. * Because I like building things * Because I like the creativity and freedom that I get from writing my own code. * Because I love the satisfaction of others getting use out of what I've made. * Because I like building community (Hackers and Founders) * Because the ass can't kick itself
