Passion is Bullshit (medium.com)

Yes. I'm passionate about getting better at Badminton. I'm passionate about seeing more of the world. I am not passionate about building a slack bot or a q-tip subscription service. Best case scenario I find it fun. Hopefully I am content doing it. Either way I don't have to be passionate about it to do it well.

Most requirements of employees such as education, certification, location, and also passion have no direct relevance. What organizations need is leaders, marketers, coders, writers, sellers, and other basics. The focus should be on the tasks at hand, not any details that lack direct relevance.

i had a joke with an old friend about interviews...how about we tell them 'i promise i won't screw up as badly as the last guy'
