- krainboltgreene 15y agoEventually every artist has to learn how to sell their work. Is it because they're selling out, just doing it for the cash? No. Some of us have families to feed.
- burgerbrain 15y agoI know plenty of hackers who decided to dayjob in other fields, so that's B.S. Hacking does not imply being paid.
- krainboltgreene 15y agoI never implied that hacking implies being paid. You're reading far too much into it.
- burgerbrain 15y agoI am taking exception to "Eventually every artist...". There are many who do not. Possibly even more than those who do.
- momrainbolt 15y agoThink artists don't think about selling their work? Go read some Henry Miller or Charles Bukowski.
- burgerbrain 15y agoI know most people do not sell their artistic works. I was referring to hackers with that "possibly".
- anon114 15y agoYou are confusing the difference between approaching the process of becoming a hacker for-profit and approaching the path to hackerdom because you seek enlightenment. When you are primarily seeking promised riches at the end of the path, you aren't following the path.
