 even if you are
lucky enough to care about the big picture, you probably don't care about
implementing yet another responsive XML cloud-based enterprise SEO keyword. If
you are qualified for your job, you mostly have a pretty good idea of the

you go into the studio to make money, God leaves the room."

And a lot of us have a hard time adjusting to this once we turn programming
from a hobby into a career (which is how most of us got here). We keep
working, thinking we'll somehow recapture how it felt to program when we were
tinkering with HyperCard on a 1980 Apple, but it never happens because the
whole structure of what we're doing has changed.

There's nothing wrong with you. The problem isn't you, it's the structure that
economic leaders to build an economy that forces people to work toward the
economic leaders' goals rather than their own goals. To quote Joe The
Barbarian, "It's not the picture that's upside down, it's the world."

I don't have a good solution to this problem. I love programming when I do it
for myself, and I've spent countless hours writing compilers/interpreters
without reaping a dime from it (okay, I guess I've gotten jobs due to people
being impressed by my compilers/interpreters, but the economic payoff is
negligible compared to the effort). The best I have come up with is to opt out
of the economy as much as possible, and find ways to work fewer hours while
making enough money to do what I want. The best I can do is minimize the time
I'm wasting on extrinsically motivated tasks.
