Prioritizing Money - Fortune [possible satire]

WebStormit seems in my country node jobs pay about $20k more a year than rails jobs
WebStormI guess if I want $20k extra I should stick to node
WebStormI did some research
pulsepeople who see programming just as a way of making money weird me out
deniskapulse: I started programming because it seemed like a fun thing to do, and as a bonus I can also have jobs involving it
pulsedeniska, that's a proper mindset
deniskabut caring about programming only from 9 to 5 is a valid mindset too
pulsedeniska, disagreed
pulseif you treat programming as a way to get money then your code will necessarily suck
pulseyou should treat code with all the respect it deserves, and consider money as a happy side product
pulseit's the same in any other craft, to be honest
pulseprioritizing money means you don't give the craft the attention it requires
rindolfpulse: and it likely will result in less money
pulserindolf, yes, ironically enough
