No, not at all. There are people who love coding for the sake of it, they are passionate about the technology and would be doing it whether it was their career or not. They do it for fun. We both write software, but I derive pleasure from making money from products, they derive pleasure from the writing itself. If I could no longer sell products and make money I wouldn’t do any coding. You don’t think there is any distinction between them and I?

I thought you loved “delivering value/solutions” and that “the happy consumer and the polished product is what gives [you] satisfaction”. Thank you for admitting what you care about is the money. That was clear from the marketing speak.

You’re being ridiculous. This is my job, I love it. It’s not purely about the money. I enjoy building, maintaining, supporting products, it’s just that without the selling part I wouldn’t be doing it, I would have to do another job and I would have greater preferences for spending my free time. Almost everyone ultimately works for money, that doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t like their job. Come on, you know this…

The distinction is obvious and you’re clearly just expressing an emotional reaction.
