For me, my motivations and reasons for working in tech ebbs and flows throughout the years (which I suspect is the same to majority of the people).

At first, I decided to have a degree in a STEM field in order to have in the future a dayjob that would finance my artistic/philosophical aspirations, then I started to be really interested in some specific fields and was studying/working out of mostly intelectual curiosity and now (especially due to this COVID situation) I'm again seeing it as a way to survive in this rotten late-stage capitalism era but now without almost any kind of artistic aspirations (that's the way the passage of time destroys things).

Maybe I should take up one of the examples in the TFA and just dedicate myself to run a brewery.
