I'm counting down the days until I'm financially stable enough

As in, that will be soon??

I'm also surprised that I'm one of the first people to say no

Huh, really? Here in the US devs are always telling you how much they love their work. Some of it's BS, some of it's genuine 🤷‍♀️ Personally I'm more concerned with dedication than passion.

Personally I'm more concerned with dedication than passion.

I really gotta remember this distinction since I usually feel less passionate than "I'm gonna hack in my free-time" but more passionate than "this is just a job".

Ha, yeah it is a balance between the two.
