I've played guitar for 2 years, studied 13 foreign languages for 2-15 years depending on which one you're talking about, I'm into BW and SC2 and TF2 and eSports, I'm into programming — I've made all sorts of cool shit for my computer... even remade an old Telery.net game in C# — I've made BW and SC2 maps, one of which was the #2 most popular for the first 5 days of beta... I even majored in my worst subject in college! (I graduated last week, too...) | ||

What wikipedia/apache/Linux and the Australian-company example have in common is that it's social. Other people are involved giving a frame of reference for the work thats being done. Together they have a history and together they have a vision, right there, at the office or at the forum. People working together, making sure everyone is giving their input and ideas. In a way they are moving forward together, but at the same time they are moving forward individually. Just like like how a braid or a tapestry is made. If I had the choice of investing my whole self into a project like this, that would be more attractive then going up the career ladder for more money so that the boss is satisfied. I don't think a lot of people get motivated by apple's or facebook's greater vision. Even if a company has a noble vision, that doesn't translate into a positive workplace environment. It sounds more like creating a conformity in order to maximize profit then giving people motivation for work. | ||

Or any time anyone counters an argument regarding quality with "Oh but you're gonna buy it and it has made or going to make lots of money therefore its the best". Kinda came to this conclusion before, but im curious what the "comfortable amount"of money is. | ||
