As someone with a bit of technical skill: when the greatest motivation to work on a project is the money you'll pay me, I have a 9-5 mentality, because that's what you're paying for.

When the greatest motivation to work on a project is the insane coolness of the project itself, things are different. Then, the money is just a bonus.

Can you figure out something about your idea that hackers will find cool?
