Nice. I was expecting another braindead "selfish" explanation of earning more money, bitches or fame. Simple fact is that I think people like to create, and feel inspired. I don't like pouring the precious hours of my life into a blackhole that will disappear in a few years time. It's nice to write things people will use to bring more wealthy, happiness and benefit to their lives rather than software which causes misery and vendor-lockin. Our job as coders is not to imprison people but to set their minds free.
