I don't understand why people who think like this get (or want to get) jobs as software developers

It's clearly not enjoyable for them so why doesn't the author pivot to something else and stop doing things they hate? It's weird

Because the time investment isnt worth it most of the time. Unless its a widely used framework / library its worth no ones time to try and understand API docs, each and every component and then deal with some genius patterns thrown here and here. Its a skill that has low market value so sharpening it isnt worth it.

    right but not all things are done for "market value" reasons, and that's kind of my point. If you don't find this stuff interesting, what's the point of building your career in the space?
