I don't think it's weird at all, in general. I actually believe that's the thinking of the majority of programmers. As employed by Tata, HCS, HP, IBM, Oracle, Cognizant and so many other huge corps employing developers. We feel it "funny" because that culture is perpendicular to the Startup culture that abounds in this forum. But number-wise, it's a minority. The great majority of people are not wholly in love with their craft. They just want to do their job to get paid. They dont read about Rust on weekends, and dont program yet-another-X in their spare time. And that Ok. Thats what the majority of the world does.
