>If you care about the product you work on

I don't care about the products I work on. I don't own the product, I don't work for an NGO willing to change the world and the product would probably won't revolutionize the industry.

The product's only purpose is to make some people rich. And I don't care for it.

What I care about is being paid, learning, advancing my career and not being bored to death while I work.

So I do quality work because of that. I don't enjoy fixing bugs (some people do), so if I can avoid fixing bugs, I'm happier. I also try to ship as least bugs as possible and I test my code before pushing it. The code has to pass an QA cycle so I will fix my bugs if any. But if some bug is coming from production I'd rather pass on it and take on a feature instead.



So then you do care about the product you work on.
