I joke, but a lot of people just want to show up and do the bare minimal until quitting time. Disturbingly, many seem employed in customer facing positions.
To be fair, if they’re paying minimum wage, the employer has the same attitude towards the employees.
Or you're working in companies that basically stop you from being productive.
Managers questioning the developer's decisions, focus on the sales topics instead of fixing the existing product and colleagues taking shortcuts and exponentially increasing the technical debt is something I basically have to work with every day.
I now have worked on multiple projects on the side, both alone and with others who know their stuff and I've never had any of those issues there.
That's why I'm currently in the process of starting a company with a few of those "good guys" to get out of this madness.
