Hmmm. Must be one of those different personality types
(on alternate days, I'm INTp or INTj... I think...) and
having seen what testers and coders do, I think I'd spend
a lot of time bored-and/or-frustrated. I love to learn
stuff, but once I've figured it out, I sorta lose interest.
Explaining it to other people is great, but actually sitting
and doing it, day after day? Hell no. :-)
High-level design, though, does sound good. Go figure.
