anybody else find the following true when you're a developer?
- frequent bursts of side-tracking onto more interesting subjects
- vast amount of inhuman focus, followed by inability to remain focussed
- general tendancy to keep taking on projects, often for no good reason
- inability to flip out of work mode at 5pm like the rest of the world
-- [sub] not feeling normal unless worked you've extra; while other
professions demand overtime as little as an extra 15 minutes
- constant learning (positive thing)
- unlimited skill scope, if its on a computer you'll give it a go
- amazing ability to prioritise (the wrong things)
- all projects suddenly become uninteresting and all motivation is lost
at approx 65-85 percent completion
- the code seems more important than the app (even though its not)
- lots more but lost interest / focus
Are you an INTP?

thanks for that rob, but predicatably I've got to number 26 and stopped
- penetrating insight, lol
sidenote: wonder what the results would be if we all got our respective
other halfs to complete it for us. [for those of you without, you're
manager will do]
