I've always wondered who the magical developers are that did the greenfield development of every project I've been on-boarded to. I never seem to get ahead of the maintenance grind to the point of being one of those creating the mess instead of wading through the mess.

One way to get ahead of it is to try pitching proposals to problems your organization can't afford to ignore.

Yeah me too. But looking through the doco i keep seeing the names of people on all the green field work are the same.

I think those people live the work life equivalent of hitting all green lights.
