Everybody who has done such work knows that it is impossible to simply leave your heart and soul at home.

Quite a blanketing statement considering that you can't get in the head of every other person in the universe.

Work has always been a means to support my own personal projects, and I've never felt any kind of investment in the work, the company, or colleagues. Additionally the only things to me that are tangible takeaways, you get to keep even if you are no longer at the company:

- domain knowledge such as tech stacks

- meaningful friendships

>> and I've never felt any kind of investment in the work, the company, or colleagues

how can that lead to meaningful friendships?
