If somebody is all passion and no skill, well that's a total wild-card. They may or may not ever be productive. I do think people like this exist, but only temporarily. If they are truly passionate, they'll get good at their work. If not, then they are just all talk and not really passionate. A person with great skill but no passion - I'm not sure that person exists. I don't think you can get to the level of greatness without some form of passion. If you have zero passion the you are probably going to top out at "adequate" and your skills will diminish as the industry passes you by. I would bet that every on this forum has some passion. It wouldn't even make sense, why waste your free time reading tech forums? All of us here have at least a little passion for the field.
