I don't agree, many people just don't like work. Smarter people may be less influenced by social pressures/morals so they can see it in a more unbiased way (society forces on us perception of work as a virtue), so they like it even less.
After all, i for example, have never participated in a single project that would ever go live, and only a few times, built small pieces of code that were for some time used in live products. How can i probably fool myself into believing that work is a virtue?
- jart 5y agoIt depends how you define work. I have built systems that are used in large production services. But even if you're just going to dinners and meetings then that's still work in a way. Possibly a more important kind. We all need to have some reason to exist. Tech is weird historically speaking since once the work is done the code runs itself which leaves builders as the architects of their own demise, since few folks are interested in disrupting cash cows with a better mousetrap.
