Helping the users of my system by making things faster and / or more obvious is motivating. Improving the code is motivating. Providing for my family is motivating. Keeping our super small business afloat is motivating (I’m blessed to work on a small team with people I like.) Edit: I worked for the govt for all of 2 weeks— a mistake I won’t make again. I hope you find satisfaction with whatever you choose.
