Maybe it's just that no one has succeeded yet. I know a lot of programmers are scared of "business" and just want to sit in front of a computer all day, but there are good programmers who can sell their products (see Steve's previous life). I hope to do something like this - I'm sure there will always be better programmers than me, but I wouldn't say that I'll ever be bad at it.

What if you used a light polarity to choose to become wealthy and then use your money to help others? In that case selling out would be the "light" decision. In fact, some would even argue that this is a more valuable service than entertaining people. Not liking something doesn't make it a "dark" choice.

It sounds like your goal is to reach as many people as possible. In this case the way you decide to work at this isn't necessarily on the light side or dark side. Polarity would apply more to the reason that you want to reach people. Is it to make their lives better, or so you can do something you enjoy all the time?
