If only I could get some of my clients to understand this. It's something that I try to keep them focused on without overselling the prototype... They either want to forge through to a finished product without a proof of concept [bad] or [worse] accept the proof of concept as a (edit: ) completed solution!

That's a part I enjoy as well. There are times when it isn't feasible to develop something new directly in the product, so a throwaway prototype is just the ticket. You can hack/slash/refactor/rework to your heart's content without worrying about the 'big picture'.

or at least a "other" with text input
In my case... I enjoy every part of it, as long as there is no one messing up with me and/or my brain, thinking process, decision making.

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?

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I agree, any project part is enjoyable when difficulties are over and when it starts to converge …

I would of rather seen this as a multiple option as I enjoy quiet a few of these depending on the project.
1. Spec a large project.
2. Designing Classes etc
3. Troubleshooting / bug fixes etc
4. Exploring the tech to use.

I'm with OG on this one, the survey should have been split into 2 sections, getting paid as the default and only option in section 1 and the rest of the options in section 2.
Yes designing the classes and APIs was my choice

Closest answer was designing the apis.
Yes that's the creative part, the part where you actually see (on paper) how it will look like from a coder's perspective.
That is really the most joyful part.
Second best is, when "everything is finished" and you start the finetuning, a bit polishing here, a new setting there, change a default, things like that... All that what's needed to make it feel right.

This makes me wonder about the same survey but being done on the question:
Why would you contribute to Codeproject?
Getting paid (at least shortterm is certainly not an option) ...
