      No need to be an expert.

      When I’m working on a project that is mine and has my name on it, and I think that it’ll help me or someone else in a meaningful way, I’ll happily lose sleep over perfecting it.

      When I’m just a cog in a giant faceless machine that wants only to maximize profits, I don’t really care what the hell happens with the product as long as I get paid.

      I’m not an expert, but it seems to me that if the labor isn’t alienated, then it becomes less about the hours and more about what’s accomplished.
