Hah! Probably. I'd rather learn about distributed systems, the idiosyncrasies of bash, how file systems work, dive into how http/2 & ipv6 will solve some of our problems, etc. Absolutely love fixing bugs in code though, but the actual act of coding an application from scratch bores me. Can't explain it!
(I manage the React team at Facebook.) This is like me! I love fixing stuff and enjoy coding from scratch much less. I don’t have specific tips for you, but I promise it’s possible.
