As I was writing in another comment, I have a very clear deficit of attention and I love debugging! Especially when it's urgent, and I'm basically livecoding in front of other devs or clients, jumping about in our codebase, hacking through breakpoints and the interactive console.
It helps that JVM debugging is very good (can be done remotely over the network, can insert code, add conditional breakpoints, suspend single threads etc.) It's an almost lisp like experience!
And a bug report is the most scoped task I ever encounter frankly. You have a clear success condition, often a pretty clear deadline ("now!" or "before the release window"!) In fact, if anything I tend to take support tasks way too often, to the detriment of my feature building work.
When I get an email with a title like "Intermittent null pointer exception in running prod application", I just know I'll have a really good few days!
