We're more alike than you think.With my first job out of college, I was the IT department of a small company. We used a standard package, but I wrote countless modifications to meet our particular business needs. During this period, I supported my own development.
A dozen years later, I joined the developer of that package in tech support. When we found bugs in current code, we gave it back to development for correction. When it was found in older versions or in custom modifications, then I fixed it.
Fast forward another fifteen years to present, I now work in a sales capacity. I perform product demos (usually over the 'net) and give live product and industry presentations to user groups across the country. I also teach the programming certification course for our business partners and power users where among other things, I instruct others in the use of various debugging tools.
Three weeks ago, I was pressed back into coding service. I developed an interface from the original back end licensing software for the products I represent and the new one used by the $2B software firm who purchased our company a couple of years back. Once again, I support my own development!
