Writing code was never more than 20% of what I do as a programmer. All those other things are where I have always spent me time, and those are the hard part.

And to me the least fun. Programming is the fun part, everything else is stuff I have to deal with to do the fun part.

All of it has parts I hate there is a lot of boring code I've had to work on. And sometimes the fun code is things I finish and say nobody should every do that...
