The positive side of dispassionate people is that they won't write a new framework just to solve some tiny little task.

I was never the type of person to try to write a framework to solve a tiny little task, but I am probably 50% more effective with my time since I stopped caring about my job. I am not stressed out at all and that makes a massive difference.

That being said I probably work about 75% less (~10 - 15 hours a week if I'm being honest) so the joke is still on my employer.
