> Growing as a professional requires some combination of drive, ambition, and work ethic.
People usually call those types of qualities "passion," "love of job," or "interest."
You keep trying to work around definitions to suit your narrative when people are just trying to have an honest conversation. You are shoving intent into the OPs post that isn't there. Simply put, what they are saying is that those from bootcamps are there doing the what they think is the bare minimum in order to keep getting a paycheck at that moment.
You might think, "Hey, just raise the minimum and they'll raise with it, it's your fault for having low expectations!" However, when those expectations are raised, you rail against them. You can't have it both ways.
You can't argue for someone lacking drive, ambition, and work ethic, and at the same time bemoan people for demanding that.
Passion has become a synonym for being in love with a career. As you said: "love of job".
Mixing a complex sentiment like love with coding is frankly ridiculous and I would argue undesirable.
Instead we should precise terms like drive, interest in technology, motivation to learn, etc. These make sense and don't bring any emotional baggage with them.
