Your first sentence is certainly an eternal truth; I feel like there's quite a gap between those who consistently work more than their worth and those who only do what is strictly necessary. I'm somewhere in the middle – there's little chance of me doing what I'm not paid for, but at the same time I do very much care about what I produce, and the experience of the people I work with, and whoever ends up using what I make, and the wider effect on the world. I would put the vast majority of developers I've met in the same bracket – so companies should really want to keep us happy.
