That's not the reason. The work itself is not fun. Even if the whole project has no career purpose, it's more fun to write new code.

- etripe 5y agoWell, if it were fun, it would lose its shine if you're constantly being told it doesn't matter to the business.
- darkwater 5y agoIt can be fun, it just depends on who you are. Sadly most developers prefer to follow PM and churn in features instead of this precious work.
- dotancohen 5y agoI actually love chasing down other people's bugs. I often get to fix other developers new shiny features shortly after they've hit production. And I love the challenge. It's also nice that bug chasing has less of an expectation of giving good times estimates, which the software industry is famously poor at anyway.
- blippage 5y agoI actually enjoyed a maintenance project I was on. There was less time pressure. Finding and fixing a bug is a logic puzzle in its own right. So things can be largely a question of perspective.
