I agree, but that tells me you are much more detail oriented than many developers I've worked with. Most devs at the 70-100k a year range are phoning it in 9-5

I agree, but that tells me you are much more detail oriented than many developers I've worked with. Most devs at the 70-100k a year range are phoning it in 9-5 and only check exactly the boxes a PM and QA person make them check. I very rarely see developers who are in the standard deviation below median make that kind of check. These are good productive developers who get lots of tickets done.
