Thanks for this comment. It pretty much confirms my hunch that I would not be happy in a "developer" role. I have done quite a lot work that requires writing code. But often it has been projects with literally months before there has been anything that anyone might call functionality.

It's not, though, if you also believe the majority of the field attempts to be "agile", which is far and away the case in 2022.

I didn't make up any of this, it comes directly from Joel Spolsky in his article titled, "Evidence Based Scheduling". [0]
