It is ironic that in my experience, I have seen far more 'professionalism' in software projects that are not, strictly speaking, 'professional' at all, i.e. Open Source projects (in the sense of it being someone 'profession' to do the work). I learnt to take coding quality seriously when contributing to projects where every commit was published to a mailing list that people actually read. In contrast, the level of professionalism within so-called 'enterprise' software development has appalled me. Not all Open Source projects are very professional, but it is the ones that are that tend to take off -- since people are working in their spare time, in order to be a success a project *has* to have passionate developers, and so *has* to have this kind of quality.
