I like debugging, or more generally troubleshooting. Apart from the stress, and the possibility of failure. Things like getting reports of failures from customer sites at the other side of the world, gathering the scant evidence, and trying to find ways to reproduce the problem. Or devising ways of getting more information. On the other hand, I feel uneasy when I'm just writing code and noone is going to run it for real until a year later. The code isn't complete until it's in production. /Jorgen -- // Jorgen Grahn <grahn@ Oo o. . . \X/ snipabacken.se> O o .
