I think development is a balancing act. I personally can get attached to pet projects and care more about them being successful than making lots of money. If it was all about money then why would I work on things out of hours when I am not getting paid for them. I know I am not the only programmer who has been told 'no' by a company and consequently worked on something in my own time to prove it would work when there is no money involved.
The other side is the reality that I have to pay the rent somehow and need to make a living to survive and so have to compromise. I am sure there are developers for whom everything is just money money money....but I think they are probably jerks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
