that a lot of you develop for free software and are passionate
at what you do. But how do you pay the bills? What do you do for a living?
Are you a student? Do you do software development just as a hobby, or do
you want to make a living doing this kind of work?
I see most of you are in IT, I would have thought there were more
amateur programmers and some pro musicians, too.
i'm a 35-year-old freelance sound engineer trying to keep a balance
between well-paid jobs (which are often quite dull) and interesting
projects (which are usually under-paid).
my definition of success is "not having to take on really shitty
projects" - which means i've had a successful year so far. still a long
way to go before i buy my porsche, though :)
