As someone who enjoys tech, I don't really fault or look down on people who get into tech for the pay like some in our field seem to do. In basically every other field on the planet that is high paying, people go into it for the money, not for some passion - so whats different about ours?
I don't really mind whether you have some innate desire to learn something, or if you're doing because its your job and your job pays you. As long as in the end you suck it up and do it.
- JohnFen 2y agoI don't know that there's anything different about ours, but that's a shame. The difference (broad-brushing here) between someone who is a dev because that's their passion and someone who is a dev for the pay is the quality of their work. As our industry matured and gathered more "in it for the money" types, the overall product quality has been declining. I think that's a shame. Perhaps inevitable, but a shame nonetheless.
