Its funny because I remember a talk here on ycombinator from ppl who do exactly what you described here.

Often extremely smart and talented. Working on own projects/business idea.

Their argument is that they can in 1h deliver often as much as you average Joe in a week.

“Put as little effort as possible, but I have expenses”

Can give example of such ppl in: - Samsung - TomTom - Oracle - Amazon

Too many of them tbh. Slowly choking the business.

Sometimes I've been able to fix in an afternoon, what someone has been trying to fix for days.

From and outsiders' perspective it may seem that I am working less

So what should I do when I realize that a lot of my coworkers are HIGHLY inefficient? And I can do their work in a lower amount of time? And I have a ceiling on how much I can earn? I just go looking elsewhere in parallel.

OR - I build a startup. But I hate the buisiness ethos.
