I love working on performance.
It's fun and challenging. Trying to best high scores (times/benchmarks) is fun and gamifies it.
Personally, I answer tons of questions online (e.g. the Julia discourse and Slack) related to things like SIMD because I find it fascinating and want to share this excitement with others.
Same thing when it comes to a blog post or announcing a package; I focus on what motivates me most.
