The SharePoint One-Question Personality Test

Do you like developing in SharePoint?

If you answered "yes"...
  • You are not bothered by frequently performing repetitive tasks.
  • You do not mind expending large amounts of energy in order to receive small rewards.
  • You can handle large amounts of cognitive dissonance.
  • You like swimming in uncharted, undocumented waters.
  • You don't need constant reassurance that your code works (e.g. unit tests).
If you answered "no"...
  • You prefer to automate any repetitive tasks.
  • You want your energy investment to be close to the expected rewards for that investment.
  • You like it when things are logical, orderly and, just make sense.
  • You like navigating waters that have been mapped and documented.
  • You like being constantly assured that your code works (e.g. continuous integration and unit tests).
Just a theory but I think that these two sets of answers align with two categories of people. Those who answer "yes" seem to fit into the thrill-seekers category. Those who answer "no" seem to fit into the more cautious category.
