This man loves his job, otherwise he wouldn’t be posting and making videos about it.&lt;p&gt;It’s the same in tech. If you don’t have passion, you’ll bounce around tech companies, never moving up, always making money, but never enough. But it’s the passion that gives you the edge to deliver something 1% better than the next guy, and so you get the big bucks.&lt;p&gt;Be passionate and the money will follow.&lt;p&gt;Edit: uhh did I say something wrong?

Lots of developers are passionless about software development and deliver software &amp;quot;better than the next guy&amp;quot;.</text></comment>

Unless you are a founder, and actually are a unicorn or can provide a much needed service, fuck passion. Do it for the money.</text></comment>
