Yes, I have always enjoyed trying to create elegant architecture and code, more than I get satisfaction from the end result. I’ve always found it frustrating how many colleagues were prepared to throw together any old junk as long as the right thing came out in the end.

I guess some of us like the aspect of coding (as in writing code), while others only like the results (be it the product or the pay)
