Let's talk about "work ethic"
Those of us who started making software largely to REDUCE the amount of work we had to do will have an easier time seeing the lie in "work ethic" when it comes to software development
Work isn't inherently good. Idleness isn't inherently evil. A job description invoking "work ethic" is coming from a capitalist place of wanting to extract the maximum amount of value from you
I could say more, but I can just link and quote en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_ethi…
"The concept of 'hard work' is meant by capitalists to delude the working class into [serving] the elite, and that working hard, in itself, is not automatically an honorable thing, but only a means to creating more wealth for the people at the top of the economic pyramid."
"It is no longer true that producing more means working more, or that producing more will lead to a better way of life"
And really, the opposite - so much of what our society does, has *destructive* effects, to itself and the greater world. Witness Bitcoin
