  Best I can tell it's a sports term that has moved over. Google trends shows sudden peak in activity in just the past few months, so something has made the phrase trendy recently.

  It’s a phrase used by sports commentators. There’s a physicality in the definition that doesn’t really describe the best programmers I’ve worked with. > In sports, "high motor" describes a player who consistently exerts maximum effort and intensity on every play, showing relentless energy, enthusiasm, and a refusal to take plays off, even when tired or the game situation is difficult.

  The requirement "high motor" is a new standard in the software industry, where you are expected to arrive at the interview levitating at least five feet off the ground, propelled by your own internal combustion engine. Your resume should include your horsepower (minimum 250), fuel efficiency per Jira task and preferred brand of motor oil.
