Agreed about the general BS meaning of "passion", but in this case I meant "liking software and building things with it". People maintaining legacy corporate systems written in COBOL -- the most common usage of this language -- don't exactly belong in this category. Which, as I said before, is perfectly fine: not everyone has to like software, maybe a job is just a job and you just need the paycheck. But all those recurrent articles praising COBOL somehow manage to forget this...
