You choose to write code, which is great. When developers think "Oh yuck, I can be coding instead" Librarians should step up. Not to nitpick, but I used "write" as a metaphor for all activities around Koha, given that the written word is our primary tool - whether to answer user queries, write a blog about a cool new feature, improve the wiki and manual, discuss and decide new spec (e.g. the MARC framework debate we are having on the devel list that needs inputs and approval from librarians even more than from the devs) and finally of course there's writing the code. A dev who simply says "Yuck! I could be coding instead" is IMHO a poor one who has basically stopped listening to the users and the eco-system they are in.
