I have to admit that I find debugging more satisfying than coding. I 
used to gear my coding towards debugging with accessible variables, 
clear structure etc. I was always later than my colleagues finishing the 
coding but usually I was one of the first to complete debuggung and testing.

I do like Java for its clean structure but it does a lot of the 
debugging and error prevention for you, takes away the fun.
Now Python is great for debugging, nothing quite like an int suddenly 
becoming a string for making a fun debugging problem.
