So yes, thinking that most developers are going to do it for “fun” after working 40 hours a week is kind of naive.

- scarface74 3y agoI’ve been in this field professionally for over 25 years. There has never been a time where people weren’t interested in making the most money possible given their skillset and opportunity. Or are you saying in some distant past that people did it for the love? I was a junior in high school when Linux was introduced and I was on Usenet by 1993 in the comp.lang.* groups. The “culture” hasn’t changed - just the opportunities.
- newswasboring 3y agoWhen linux was introduced in that group majority of the posts weren't asking how to make money from it. That's the difference. Try hanging out in langchain and openAI discords. You will see the difference.
