Any industry that can't sustain itself with a majority of workers who are "just doing it as a job" is doomed to fail.

I say this after doing SW development for a few decades. You can't count on "passion," "rockstars" or "10x developers." You can only count on the slogs who show up, do a good job and go home.

It was doing just fine before people with the "just a job" attitude showed up. Definitely not failing.

The "just a job" people have always been there. You don't notice them because they just get shit done and then go home without making a big deal about it.
