Why would you come to _Hacker_ News, of all places, and expect sympathy for the "[coding is just] a day job to pay the bills" mindset? Virtually none of the amazing hacks that get posted here on HN come from people who view computers like that.

I would guarantee that most of the people who come to Hacker News haven't ever posted an amazing hack here. It doesn't mean we can't appreciate one.

Never said I myself had no passion for tech, or wasn't working on interesting projects. Just that it feels weird that tech seems to get this far more than say, accountancy or architecture or brain surgery.
