Josh, Linus Torvalds (note spelling) received many accolades and payment for his work. Including stock options from more than one company as well as employment.
Make no mistake, I agree with you that doing things just for the joy of it is really ultimately what we should be doing as humans, however, there's also nothing wrong at all with valuing one's time. This is just simple self respect. If you offer people your respect in the form of gratitude and compensation for the joy they give you, then you will find that you end up receiving a lot more joy in life. Just my .02. Have an awesome night! Cheers!
