> The problem with this idea is that in most orgs 'passion' equates to putting in more hours I meant passion in a more absolute sense, not just working more hours but being curious to explore and wanting to learn more about the field, in the "basic research" kind of sense. While certainly there's overlap between passion and spending extra hours in the field, for example learning about other programming languages at home as a personal project in our case, it doesn't have to be in my experience. Though in that case it likely would require the org realizing they benefit from and want to retain such passionate individuals.
