Probably no different from the junion engineers I've mentored who have
spent their time doing code maintenance, bug fixing and the general grunt
work while the more experience engineers wrote the new code, design
documents and other "sexier" jobs.

Some days I'd rather peel potatoes (don't they have machines to do that for
you now <g>?) than go through yet another round of "what do I have to
change in the design to meet [someone from the EMT]'s latest must-have
feature"...
