Hey, some of us like the kool-aid. It's sweet and sugary and makes you feel good inside.

If you are worried about a revenue model to feed yourself and/or your family, I have full confidence in the ingenuity of man to devise a way to generate a constant source of income from one's coding without being a douche. In the long run, what's profitable for your client is profitable for you. It may not be business sense, but it's common sense. Money is not the most valuable thing you can earn for your work.

Happy, sober, smart: pick two.
