Like most hackers, I don’t really care about money very much. I do what I do primarily for artistic satisfaction, and what I want is to know that other people consider it good art… you don’t really know that you are evolving in the right direction unless reality and other people confirm that. So, like most other hackers, my most fundamental motivation is that I want other hackers to think that I’m doing good work. And I want them to believe I’m effective and fruitful and a good designer and so forth. – Eric Steven Raymond, Let My People Go, Interview by Andrew Leonard. |
