lowkey reminds me of this quote from the cathedral and the bazzar "The ‘utility function’ Linux hackers are maximizing is not their individual gain, but their own ego satisfaction and reputation among other hackers. (One may call their motivation ‘altruistic’, but this ignores the fact that altruism is itself a form of ego satisfaction for the altruist.)" — Eric S. Raymond
