I don't think that is accurate at all.

But paid work will make it easier to get the boring or difficult 
parts done. Hobby programmers will gravitate towards the fun 
parts and copying the design of others (e.g. Linux copying Unix).

For D, the difficult part is completing the language on paper. It 
is human nature to push difficult parts are into the future, but 
one should actually say "no more work on easy parts, we have to 
do the difficult parts first". And that takes decisive leadership.

Implementing is the easy part.
