Rasmus believes there are four kinds of programmers. First, the pragmatic ones who are just after solving their own problems. The second kind finds programming as a means of self-expression, like an artist finds self-expression in his art-work. The third are the real programmers who enjoy programming for its own sake because it creates a hormone called oxytocin in them, and the fourth are the open source zealots who wish to change the world. He claims to be of the first kind. He programs to solve his problem and then moves on. He confesses that he created PHP purely to serve his own interest, to solve his own set of problems
