Absolutely! Actually I have still some support work to do on that but the project is already closed and onwards we move to new horizons.
I so much prefer my new job to the previous one.

It's always nice to be able to have something to point at and say "I was part of that!" Most of what we do as developers is so abstract and ephemeral that we don't often get the chance.

Yeah - Herself would get annoyed by my wandering around supermarkets going "I designed and coded the machine that printed that", until I got her involved in the hardware manufacture for the next generation and then she went round supermarkets going "I built the electronics that made the machine that printed that work". 
Even now - fifteen years since I last touched one - I see "my code" being used all over the world!
Nice feeling.

Unfortunately most managers - those who weren't developers - don't appreciate the emotional attachment / pride we can gain from our coding work. One of the first places I worked, I spent 4 months developing one bit of code before moving on to another project; the manager never even let me know when my first "masterpiece" had gone live and I felt very cheated.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
