Ask HN: Why do you do what you do?

I thought I loved web development, but recently I feel like I’ve plateaued. I’m not wealthy, and now it feels like I’m working just to survive, not out of some divine passion. It scares me because I’ve recently turned twenty and I feel I need to start making some decisions.

This got me thinking about all the other people on HN. I know some people here can be very evangelical about their work publicly, but I want to know the true reasons people here do what they do.

Do you work to survive?

Do you genuinely think you’re changing the world?

Do you just love what you do?

I think knowing about other people's situations will help me a lot. Thanks.
