I was searching the web today and came across a blog post by Stephen Forte about What Motivates Us (computer programmers too). He was listening to Jeff Atwood discuss what motivates employees in reference to Stack Exchange and Stack Overflow. Jeff was influenced by Dan Pink of the RSA Org’s TED talks and others.
Stephen included the awesome RSA Animate video along with Dan Pink talk about motivation. I was so blown away I had to repost and include it here.
