> There's also nothing wrong with engineers who program exclusively to collect a paycheck and aren't actually passionate about their work. I believe this is an inevitable side effect of the accessibility of programming today. I only agree if the person who lacks passion can actually do the job and has experience. The trouble with programming computers is that you cannot get sloppy with the implementation details or design decisions. It is absolutely not a field accessible to people who guess too much and code by coincidence. Often those details are also overlooked at the project planning level so it's unfair to everyone else who has to pick up their slack. It's already bad enough that the people in charge usually don't understand the project very well.
