I would say that more often than not, developing software is more
about moving in circles rather than moving forward. How often do you
do a "code, compile, autotest, manualtest" cycle when developing a
feature? How often does the "add, optimize, fix" cycle happen for a
particular feature? Those are rhetorical questions, btw :) I would
argue that if you're not moving in circles then there's something else
wrong.

Just my rhetorical 2c.
