What I love is to code stuff. I appreciate pair programming. I think software design is important. I also love to debug code.
This is how we do it:
a) Try to find a workaround, and mark the workaround with "FIXME".
b) Invest one week per quarter to fix all the FIXMEs (whole team - fixmekathon).
And a general thought: If anything (feature, issue, ...) seems to take "very long": invest 15% of "very long" into thinking about the problem and sketching solutions. This will mostly reduce "very long" and result in better solutions.
