motivation

Been working on this bug for two and a half days. Feeling pretty dumb and down. Got an email from one of the guys who hired me for my first dev position. He writes:

-I’ll let you in on a secret.. It wasn’t about if you got the answers right or wrong….. anyone can learn that shit. It’s about showing passion, desire and willingness to try. That’s what makes a good developer. Don’t ever lose those qualities.

I gotta remember this more often. Why am I in it? I just wanted to code. That's all. ...going back to that bug.
