Well, Zuck did. Gates did. The other people portrayed didn't, you're right. But, they enjoy it. And they admire those that can create something out of nothing by programming. Sure, it was romanticized a bit. But, it doesn't change the fact that you could get rich by coding. You could make something that people REALLY love to use. This is pretty unique to the profession, I think. Yeah you could be a writer and write a novel people love, or a painter, etc. But none of these things pay particularly well.
I think coding is a pretty neat and unique skill set that is relatively limitless. And, if this isn't true, I think I'll just keep thinking that it is true, because it keeps my head in the game.
