> Does this sort of scenario fit your "problem solving" ideal, where everyone just loves the whole experience? I highly doubt it. For me, yes. IF you remove the manager constantly asking "is it done yet" and "why isn't this done". I like having and solving large, unscoped, deeply technical, problems as long as the nagging doesn't happen. My last launch (this month) was a 6 month long 3 team project that no one but me understood. It's now a documented feature, with unit tests, and it is extremely simple. In fact, one of my CLs which took ~2 weeks to make was adding 1 `if (X) { continue; }` and I sent that to my manager as "look at this amazing milestone we crossed" and him not getting it :)
