I'm not quietly quitting. I quietly quit in middle school. All I ever wanted was to hide in my room, smoke cannabis, and listen to heavy metal while reading 70s New Wave sf. Unfortunately, those turned out to be rather expensive tastes, and I didn't have the sense to be born into money.

I'm not interested in killing myself to live. I show up, put in a solid day's work, and get paid. I'm not going above and beyond, I'm not gunning for a promotion, and I sure as shit ain't working overtime unless I get time and a half.

This. I don't want to work too. I like developing software, I like the tech world, I love the intellectual soup this and other communities brew together. But if I was free from the need of money to live without much loss of comfort, I'd rather not choose to work 40-60 hours on the same thing in front of the screen.

Therefore my approach is "I need money, you need work" let's frame the extent of that and fulfill both ends of the contract.

Maybe it's a lack of passion but I've seen so many people break because they somehow feel the need to be a "good bee" for a company. I like living and that's the most important point on my daily todo list.
