Why should we work?
Many people like to work because they like a company. Then they get bound emotionally to the company. Be free of emotional bondage! Any emotional bondage is just a motivation for us to work hard.
The only reason to do something is for our own happiness, not pleasure, but happiness - healthy mind and body.
Of course, there are some people who are bound by a greater cause or purpose. Some of it makes the world better. We should be thankful to them for it.
As software engineers, why should we work? Or why should we do what we do?
