@grimalkina my motivation, like many other major aspects of software practice, is multi-scalar. On the scale of me-and-my-tools, I'm motivated very similarly to how I was as a kid with a toybox: If I can figure out how, I can make cool stuff happen. On the scale of my team, I'm motivated to meet the goals we committed to. On the wider scale, I'm motivated to help users get stuff done. But, yknow, I'm also motivated to eat, pee, daydream, etc. #itscomplicated
