Why are you assuming "501 developers" don't do any of the things you list?
I think the point is that you can have balance in your life and be a good & passionate coder.
- markrendle 14y agoYou can have balance in your life and be a good coder. I think balance and passion are mutually exclusive, though,
- SarahJane 14y agoI don't think balance and passion are mutually exclusive. That would be conflating passion and obsession.
- Xylakant 14y agoBecause they say so in the manifesto. They feel pity and respect for people that build an open source project. Without Open Source: No MacOS in it's current form, no php (facebook), no ruby (twitter), no linux (google), no apache (large parts of the web). Granted, there are paid OS-developers nowadays, but most is still for fun and passion and not paid for.
