But I'd point out it is not always unquestioned. I've just discovered this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sud_NC.JPG -- ain't it radical? This kind of stuff is essentially what drives me - passion for beauty that I can only achieve, alas, with "sacrifice" ;) And of course, beauty is also inherent to innovating and its fruits. Back to coding... Great post Sjors, summons it up I guess. But I’d point out it is not always unquestioned. I’ve just discovered this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sud_NC.JPG — ain’t it radical?

In that case not only money and material is wasted for an unquestioned goal but also the most important factor; time. But you are right, most fulfilling is still to work hard on creating a better world! @Marcus, but what if it isn’t about better products, but -to use the cliche- spend more time with friends and family.
