Ha I am both, it is situational for me and depends on the project impact, engineering challenge, deadlines, how tired I am... if I have to build yet another landing page in Angular then I just want to get it done. Sometimes knocking the less interesting stuff on the head in the most boring and productive way means you leave on time, have a nice night with your family, and are rested and ready for that cool or interesting bit of work you've been looking forward to working on.
I also think having worked as a freelancer made me appreciate the business side a lot more, which made me consider when to be pragmatic and when innovation or more creative thinking might be worth it.
My inner nerd is as strong as ever but I don't like to waste time.

I'm 63 and love wasting time now because when I do my brain works on the problem(s) at had and I write better code or create a better architecture when I get to it. Less is more. Slow down to speed up.
