Why do we work?

Let's say that for most people following Hacker News, it's because their work matters to them; and, for others, it's just a paycheck.

Because of these differing work attitudes, you will see some expression of "burnout" (or some other work-related unhappiness). Keeping in mind these differences can help, but it won't solve this fundamental difference within a team.

I read Hacker News, and I work just for a paycheck. If I weren't working for the paycheck, I'd expect to have to pay my employers.
