You're right, there's a wide spectrum. It was an oversimplification for the sake of brevity.
I consider myself part of the 80%, so it is not like I am putting anybody down. There's parts of the 80% who care, but not care so much that they are at google.
I am one of those people, I do good work, I just don't devote my life to programming. Then there's the other parts of the 80% who can't even program and bullshit on their resumes.
What the 80% have in common is given the choice, they'd MOSTLY take fewer hours and bigger paycheques. The 20% would likely not take fewer hours but would still take the bigger paycheques.
That's the difference as far as I can tell - some people devote their life to work, others see it as a big part of life, but not all-encompassing.
