I develop software products for meaningful opportunities and I work best when I have a good understanding of the complete value chain while being inside a tight feedback loop. I believe active communities and happy customers are far more important than the tools we use and how polished the product is. As a developer my objective is to ship an useful product based on software that can be easily understood and improved over time.
