The 10x programmer/designer is created largely as a function of motivation. The will to see your creation exist. An impatience with turning nothing into something.

We talk about this question, about AI, about employee equity, and deciding which problems to tackle first on the latest episode of the REWORK podcast:

This is not motivation. What you are talking about, in my humble opinion, is an urge, a super strong drive and it doesn't let you stop. Motivation is not even close. This drive is as strong as the feel to go to the bathroom for a biobreak. Doesn't matter what your motivation is, when you have to go you have to go.

This is something that is mostly found in entrepreneurs these days, and very little in the "professional" developer. We might be talking about a person who is involved in an open-source project, or creating a company. Most of the people that work as software developers for a paycheck do not exhibit this drive these days. This is a far cry from the days when software development was "new", and most of us really loved what we were doing. We simply enjoyed the magic of creating something that most people had no idea was possible. I started out in the very early days of personal computers when I was 12. I was awesome. 🙂

Totally feel that drive. Turning ideas into reality takes hustle, passion, and a bit of impatience. What's your latest creation?

It’s also the motivation to break the status quo

No, one has to have abilities. Without abilities no motivation is going to help.

No argument with that. But the world is also full of talent being squandered without motivation.

To be a successful founder, you have to believe that what you're working on is going to work — despite knowing it probably won't! That sounds like an oxymoron, but it's really not. Believing that what you're building is going to work is an essential component of coming to work with the energy, fortitude, and determination it's going to require to even have a shot. Knowing it probably won't is accepting the odds of that shot. It's simply the reality that most things in business don't work out. At least not in the long run. Most businesses fail. If not right away, then eventually. Yet the world economy is full of entrepreneurs who try anyway. Not because they don't know the odds, but because they've chosen to believe they're special. The best way to balance these opposing points — the conviction that you'll make it work, the knowledge that it probably won't — is to do all your work in a manner that'll make you proud either way. If it doesn't work, you still made something you wouldn't be ashamed to put your name on. And if it does work, you'll beam with pride from making it on the basis of something solid. The deep regret from trying and failing only truly hits when you look in the mirror and see Dostoevsky staring back at you with this punch to the gut: "Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing." Oof. Believe it's going to work. Build it in a way that makes you proud to sign it. Base your worth on a human on something greater than a business outcome.
