Hmm... I think the majority of people working jobs are mostly just there "for the paychecks."

It'd be rather beautiful if all jobs were purely passion driven, but that is simply not the case. Nor could it be. And yeah, there are programmers with jobs that are mostly driven by passion, but most would pack it up and go home immediately if there was a sudden "we have stopped paying you" announcement.

There is a large canyon between "just their for the paycheck" and "primarily there for the paycheck". Most have _something_ about their job they enjoy, it's just not usually enough to be the top reason for having the job.

And the majority of software is terrible so ya. Life is generally unfortunate.

Why else would you "work", if it weren't for the pay cheques to support yourself and your family?

Because I believed in the product! (Firefox, in my case)

		May I ask what do you do to financially support yourself, if the gig at Firefox is pro bono?
