I think you're missing the point. *While he likes the cash* he obviously enjoys taking pride in his work and has a sense of accomplishment with its completion. If you had to redo something over & over, destroying what you had made every time, it would get kind of depressing.
I have a friend who writes code. He was working on a project where the client kept changing their mind on what they wanted. Would *you* want to spend hours & hours on a project, solving a problem, only to be told, "nice job, but do it all over again, a totally different way. Oh, by the way, we're going to throw away everything you just worked on.." ??
To say that taking pride in one's work is irrelevant because 'the world isn't a nice place, suck it up' is awfully condescending of you...
