I think I'm the "finisher" type of developer you're talking about. I'm very detail oriented. I even enjoy creating (or finding somebody to create) the icon, creating the DMG or installer, worrying about usability testing, etc. My interest in coding is also in solving a problem, but it's the problem of human-computer interaction. I totally enjoy writing the interface, and lose interest when I get bogged down in "the guts of the solution." I couldn't care less about twiddling bits with code. Interesting post.
