I kinda see the point of defining "passion" as "a self-centered crap".

We recently hired a guy that claims to be "passionate" about the tech we use. Indeed he is, but he shows basically zero interest in anything outside his "passion" and we're having a hard time getting him up to speed with regards to things that maybe he's not passionate about, that maybe are a bit boring, but that are still a very important part of the job.

I don't see this "passionate" guy going very far.
