Happy to be a slave as long as it makes me feel good.

You're willingly choosing to work on an interesting problem that you otherwise would not have access to, and, let's be real, our compensation and autonomy as developers is far from that of servitude. Plus you can quit any time.

Slavery here really hyperbolic. We're talking about hard work that is both interesting and rewarding.
