Interesting. I've always thought that it was the inverse — that the ability to work for long periods against a problem in search of a solution was what made a good programmer.

I’m sure it can go both ways. For young me, I always found the outcome itself and sense of accomplishment to be sufficient motivation to persevere. Perseverance itself was the trait I ended up fostering.
