“Good programmers create software for fun, outside their jobs. Hack programmers are no more likely to write software for fun than a garbage man is to collect trash on his days off.”'

I think this is directionally correct, but I do not think we're describing an if-and-only-if relationship. I believe there are good programmers who do not create software for fun. And there's at least one hack creating software just for fun, I see him in my mirror every day.
