Feel free to tell about what your day looks like. I'm exploring different positions so it'd be very valuable to me. I've already done a few courses in C# and Python, they seem to be quite common. My goal here is to get to know this role better, for now I have limited information about it. Is it rather repetitive, or is there always something new to do? What part of it do you enjoy the most and the least? Is it true that many desktop apps are really webapps?

Puzzle is a good analogy, but sometimes one without a perfect or singularly correct solution. Instead you have to optimize all the pieces you choose to use and how you use them to produce the most optimal result that balances cost, performance, and labor.
