In addition, the problems he now chooses to work on may not prove to be so important, as the very same motivation he lost at Amazon will remain missing until near the end of his runway.
Thus I can foresee an abstract quality to problem-selection, rather than a "damn this needs to be fixed as it's bringing me down on a daily basis" drive to build great things.

I hate seeing negative numbers accumulate in my bank account. I hope that will be enough extrinsic motivation to get me to do something profitable ASAP :)

I hope to be wrong of course, good for him.
