I don't begrudge people the chance to make a good living in technology, even if they don't have a passion for it. I would just like to have them to have a positive attitude, put in a little effort, and smile. Especially when you are asking for help.
Do you know what I love about my job? The fact that there are people sittin g out there who are experts in what they do and they take time to create some awesome scripts, articles, ebooks and they hand it out for free to those who want or need it to learn something. People that do not just do the job for the money they make but do whatever they can to help others
To come back to the quote from your editorial, if someone does not have a passion for this job then I'd rather have the newcomer work with me, even if they ask a lot of questions because I know I can help them to get a passion for this job.
