Most engineers aren’t really idiots.

When you get paid to care, you will care. Unfortunately, no one cares, they just want results, any result. Bubble sort will do, especially for low volume tasks.

Use the time you save by not caring, to do other fun stuff.

That's not an option for people who "care". Like it or not, a lot of self is tied up in work. Feeling useless rots you from within.

What kind of time do you save, especially at work? At any normal software shop you have an endless list of things to do. And most often you don't get to choose the "fun" part.
