For all the good that tech does for the world, can we stop the judgment of why people are entering the careers they choose, whether it's finance, tech, or otherwise? Let's judge a person not by the content of their background, but by their actions and what they accomplish. Even if someone's primary motive is to make money, it's too hasty to judge that person without understanding their background and why they're motivated thusly.
Personally as someone who has done both business and technical work, I'm saddened every time this topic comes up. The less judgmental voices get down voted and drowned out, while the posts that generalize based on anecdotal experience prevail. I wish we could just stop having this discussion, as I don't think it adds at all to the benefit of the tech community.
