I am the exact opposite. I mean, I don’t like processes and meetings, but I do like the planning and architecture part much more than I like actually writing code.

Usually, if your mind is decently organized, I find that the problem is solved before writing a single line of code. If that happens, then the actual part of writing becomes dull and mechanical - the problem has already been solved.

I’ve never understood people that just jump into coding without much of a plan - and I think the industry has shifted towards that a lot these past years. Everyone is used to learning by doing, and pretty much everyone seems to have an aversion towards reading and documenting. I feel I’m slowly becoming part of a minority.
