Most of the interviews that we generally tend to attend, we always try to make sure, that we are going for a job role, where in the kind of work is more towards development. And I myself have done this. But untill, recently, there was a task, that had been already written, and it badly needed extension. This piece of code which was already built was doing what it was meant for, effectively.

But the changes that were required, had few contracdictions with its essential design or the core design. Now the challenge was to get the piece moving or doing which it was already doing and then on top of it, add few more extensions to it. A typical maintenance scenario... 

I just questioned my self, was it that I was afraid to tackle such a situation earlier or whether, it was like, i was ignorant of this aspect of Software development. Just to brighten up this idea, I would start up a series to take scenarios and then try to make changes to it and learn and understand the underlying principles of the same...

Happy Coding!
