I knew a guy who was a window cleaner. He was really and truly passionate about it. He would go to window-cleaning competitions and come home bragging about placing first in some category or another. People can take pride in a job well-done even if they job isn't prestigious.

I don't think it's reasonable to require cleaners to be that enthusiastic, but I don't really see why somebody should feel less proud about making things nicer through cleaning than I do about achieving similar ends through coding.

I had no idea there were competitions. That must be satisfying. I looked it up and man they're fast!
