I work with a bunch of people who fit into this mind set.

My view is that they want to play and not work to get things done.

I also see it as we are engineers first and foremost and we use a software language as a tool to solve a problem.

I’m also a musician who had the chance to make a living in audio production and nothing is worse than working on other peoples tedious projects, so decided to keep the art I love for myself and have a much better paid career in tech.

I guess it’s the opposite of what you’re saying.

Sounds like you need to find another job!

Nope, not at all. It's people who got sick of being sheep-herded into assembly-line processes. That you don't want to be an assembly-line does not automatically put you at the other extreme (namely the divas who want to only work on pet problems and get paid a lot).
