This is what I keep trying to talk about in different ways. I believe I'm still doing a poor job of framing it.
I think there's a very strong culture among devs that says the only work that should make money is work that we all wish did not exist. If it's stuff we actually want and actually enjoy doing, then it should somehow magically be "free". Both in terms of money and labor. And that is wild to me.
