If you haven’t felt that way you probably never let yourself experience deep passion for your work. To each his own, but I find that it requires passion to do remarkable things. There is no shame in punching the clock for your 401k.

It's a fallacy to imply that this emotion is a kind of passion in the sense of passion for one's work. They are at best somewhat corollary, in that emotionally unstable people might be more statistically likely to have passion for their work.
I'm delighted by how passionate people get.

But that doesn't make it okay to yell at people over their code.
