@gknauss Yeah, the same question has occurred to me.
There seem to be a lot of people in this industry that hate what the job is all about.

@tsturm @gknauss from what I saw, most of the tech is in it for money. And has been for many years. I think as soon as the Big Tech formed and started poaching talent from each other by inflating compensation, that was the moment when most people started going into STEM simply in anticipation of a cushy lifestyle ahead. I've seen *a lot* of young folks who saw coding only as a necessary first step in a career.
