> I always saw tech as the field where a disproportionally large amount of people truly love what they do. Mostly, because it takes so much grit and persistence to get good at it that most people wouldn't succeed unless they see something in it beyond putting food on the table. I feel the same way, and also see that lots of people see it as a means to an end and respect that. So if nothing else I feel a little better reading your post and seeing there are other people out there who live for this shit :).
