I'm focusing on the following premise;

> if you require money to do something, you usually have no chance of being as good as the folks that do it for the pleasure

Not only do I think professional have a chance to be as good as amateurs, but the elite professionals are on average better than the elite amateurs.

I do think that we would be better off if more elite amateurs became elite professionals.

    should i repeat my comment and link the free document i doubt you read, again? modern software infrastructure runs on "folks that do it for the pleasure"

      I did read it and I agree with the sentiment, but disagree that professionals have no chance to reach the level of amateurs.
