We have the issue that people join the dev team then quickly realize that there is a expectation to actually code stuff and be able to finish it by a certain date.
Due to that we have had devs that joined the dev team only to drop out a few weeks later after realizing that there are expectations.
Why do you wish to be in the dev team ?
Are you willing to work on projects you might get assigned and finish them until a specific due date ? (i.e. stuff needed for events, important fixes, ...)
