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.
