I love that quote he led with.

In my case, I couldn't agree more, with the premise of the article, but my life today, is centered around writing software the very best that I can; regardless of value or price.

It's not very effective, if I were to be trying to make a profit.

It's really hard to argue for something, if the something doesn't result in value, as perceived by others.

For me, the value is the process. I often walk away from my work, once I have it up and shipping. I do like to take my work all the way through shipping, support, and maintenance, but find that my eye is always drawn towards new shores[0].
