When it comes to me, I'm not privileged enough to be creative or innovative: shipping fast (thing that mattered in my previous and does matter in my current work) requires me to do specific tasks and I simply cannot deviate from that or I will get fired. I read a lot about software and try to be creative, but at the end of the day, what matters the most is to make money so I can take care of my family, it saddens me that I can be looked down upon because more often than not, I treat my job as it is: a job.
