Programmers aren't unique in thagt. If you create the right conditions, driven people will just work for the sake of it, if it can help someone or create something beautiful. It's the reason why us humans are where we are to begin with.

This is what a post-scarcity society is supposed to be. A world where everyone has enough, and they do things (programming, art, whatever) for the joy of it.

Yes, programming producing products that have zero marginal cost gives us a glimpse of what the future may look like - either the open source volunteer future, or the neofeudal artificially locked down future.
