Someone smart put it this way once: “will this person come up with a new idea to help what we do together while they are having a shower?” Having an interest in the job helps with that. Doesn’t mean that they “live for their work” or whatever you are insinuating > Do you service your customers because these specific customers are especially deserving of your service or do you service them to make money? In my case the answer is: neither of those. In my case my personal motivation is that I find the thing we are building at work interesting and challenging. I “service our customers” because they make it possible to build the interesting thing, and they make it more interesting by bringing a steady supply of edge cases, anomalies and cool use-cases to us. Thank you for being interested in my personal motivations. But I am curious how this interest connects to the surrounding discussion?
