+many Except perhaps that I'd expand "find/fix bugs" to include "review and integrate patches". Because I think few people are paid to do that either. I now partially am (which obviously isn't sufficient). There's no way it's possible to e.g. work on integrating something like upsert in a reasonable timeframe otherwise. The lack of paid time to integrate stuff properly also leads to part of the quality problem, besides delaying stuff.
