It’s not anger. I get tired of employers taking advantage of naive younger developers who have “passion” and underpay them and overwork them, expect them to have open source contributions and as you said yourself, if someone is “passionate” money isn’t as important.

These are the people who don’t show “passion” unless when they get off of work they are doing side projects related to software development and usually end up getting burned out.

I’ve also avoided burn out, stress over work and I am able to survive in the industry for 30 years because I understand the transactional nature of the job and set boundaries.

Someone who does there job well doesn’t mean they are “passionate”, they are “professional”.
