>“The Path From Director to CTO: How to Follow It or How to Mentor It”

Well that sets the tone for me :)

There are two types of programmers, people who love the work, people who love the $. In my experience, most people in it for the $ are the worse programmers and always stressed out. If you love the work, you will end up having a fun career

If you are in it for the $, then this article is for you. Me, when I started out programming I took a 15% pay-cut because I wanted to do that. I am still programming decades after my first job.

Kids, do what you like, try not to take a job just for the pay. All you will do is pile stress on to yourself you could have avoided.
