This is on of my favorite quotes of all time! I even pinned it at the top of my Facebook profile since I first read it about a year ago.
Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.
―Linus Torvalds
Not because I will now say that money is bad or that I don’t care about earning money, but because I genuinely believe that in a creative and open ended field like programming, while it’s possible, it’ll probably be really challenging to stay committed and motivated solely by money without the enjoyment and passion for the craft.
