Tech isn't about fun any more. It's about making huge stacks of cash. We used to build things because it was fun and half-way artistic. Now we only build things if we think we can convince a VC to give us cash for it.

Though... I suppose this isn't exactly the venue to encourage people to do things simply for the joy of it.

[Also... you kids get off my lawn!]

Huh? Just because some person A somewhere builds something for cash, doesn't mean that there's no person B somewhere else building something for fun.
