I work with a bunch of people who fit into this mind set. My view is that they want to play and not work to get things done. I also see it as we are engineers first and foremost and we use a software language as a tool to solve a problem. I’m also a musician who had the chance to make a living in audio production and nothing is worse than working on other peoples tedious projects, so decided to keep the art I love for myself and have a much better paid career in tech. I guess it’s the opposite of what you’re saying. Sounds like you need to find another job!
