That’s funny, because it works the other way for me. Always had trouble getting into a groove at work, as soon as it happens I remember my effort is wasted protecting someone else’s money. I only get just enough in return to come back tomorrow. The only time I can really dig in and lose track of everything else, is when I work on my own projects, for my own sanity. I could spend centuries following my own hobbies, and someday I hope to be able to give back to everyone, not just my boss.
The alternative is that we stop grinding everyone into dirt, give some free time back to this generations Einsteins. FOSS is a monolith of proof that we don’t need to be threatened with poverty and death to ‘be productive.’ Given the technologic breakthroughs over the last century, we should already be living in a utopia.
