 Nothing ever reaches "Code Complete" IMHO.

I can't believe I am admitting this publicly: I think enjoy running down bugs and fixing them or changing the design slightly such that there is no need to use the problematic code. Especially the particularly difficult ones. Especially when there is a noticeable improvement to user experience. Fixing bugs will never replace fresh code, but it's the best way to rapidly restore a sense of accomplishment while still being useful to the forward momentum of the project.

and Writing the first code as well.

Does really everyone paint by numbers and stay within some framework? Nobody here working on a project that's to 90% or more own code? No more building something that nobody else built before?

In the PLC-Programming, I need to code 90% of the programm on my own, creating personalized functions for specific tasks. I have build my own "bibliothek" over the years. But even though I continue chancing my own functions to make them better or to make them solve new problems.
Personally I prefer it, it gives me much more satisfaction to know that something is working thanks my very own work.

because the question is "What is your favourite phase of software development?", not "What are all the phases of software development that you do?"
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I assume you employ a two phase development methodology.

If I start early on the main development cycle. If I'm jumping in at the end, finding ways to break my coworkers code is much more fun than tying up all their loose ends.

Actually, the best part is allocating functionality between hardware and software at the beginning, then integrating the two to make them play nice together. But neither was listed; I don't suppose many people do that sort of thing anymore.

In the Cranking out code phase it satisfies the inner drive to create and get er done.

Improving design of a specific part of the system that grow over time and shows symptoms of needs for change, refactoring and when done, watching the resulting masterpiece in action. Just love it!

Favorite part is new solutions to old problems/methods - followed by approving nods from all who gaze, worship, and offerings.
Why else would anyone do it ?

I'd worked many years in maintenance area and I have to say: It sucks!
It is a endless task to make the product work as expected!

I work with a few developers which all they do is maintenance. It is because they don't have the skills to start anything new. They have to have examples of what works within the framework and then make small changes.
There are times when I like maintenance because it is quick and easy but I wouldn't want to do it all the time.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

What? There's usually nothing "easy" about it. It's the thrill of the hunt, the problem solving, the satisfaction of making something work correctly or more efficiently which most developers seem to be not very skilled at doing. I've often been called in to finish up a developer's coding and make the application work as it was intended after the developers say it's done. Sure we only make small changes when doing maintenance but the hard part is figuring out where to make the change in someone else's code with little documentation or help.
