Hate driven development. Once your hate for the current solution's inadequacies pass a threshold, you start implementing the replacement.

Spite driven development: when you develop something just to prove someone else wrong.

Classic.
Both spite driven development and hate driven development belong here: https://blog.codinghorror.com/new-programming-jargon/
The horror is the comedy and the comedy is the horror.

In the same vein, but applied to personal relationships, "bad tempered" people are probably less likely to put up with low-intensity abusive behaviour, and while that may result in more conflict short-term, it might make for a more peaceful life in the long run.
I've long looked for a kind of "creative impatience" in people as an indicator of someone who will likely make a creative leap on a problem or simply bulldoze their way past a hurdle.
They can come off like a malcontent but if I see them start working on something with that certain body language of "I've had enough of this" I'm always secretly pleased and look forward to the outcome, letting whatever sparks may be, fly.
On the other hand if these same folks walk away from something it's likely they don't see any way of salvaging whatever the faults may be. Either way, their mindset or approach is a gift.
