Types of Developers
-
We all know that there are actually ten types of programmers/[^]. P.S. Other than the ridiculous part about recursion, I find that I'm primarily the Know-it-all or Theoretician.

So, your are a gestalt entity, a compendium of discrete programming memes, unique yet composed of the same matter as all programming types, in fact, you are MAN.NET?

Far more ordinary, I'm afraid; in fact I AM CONTRACTOR. The greatest compliment I got was when I was called 'an arrogant, aggressive and utterly mercenary bastard'. Course I think I'm really very nice... :)

Nah, was my mother... :laugh: I've been a contractor for so long that when I started Intel had just begun selling the abacus...

They've missed a couple: There are the types of developers who use incorrect double plurals, and the types of developer who don't. Makes a Hell of a difference to the code they produce.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Nope, not one of my careers, though...

Ah, the Abacus. Was it Y1K compliant? I heard Henry was a Freelance back then and worked on Form Factors for the early versions. ------------------------------------ I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel. Dalek Dave

I see myself as a Type 1. Henry is the Old Man of the C++ JSOP - Hardcore Geek POH - Type 4 I leave others to decide who else fills the gaps.

"Very much an introvert" Yup that's JSOP.

POH - Type 4
"He tries his best to explain to clients why using state-of-the-art technology is so important" - change that to read "He tries his best to explain to clients why paying his company on time is so important". Apart from that, spot on.

I prefer this: typeof(developer)
A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

I see my self a mix of "The Old Man" and "The Hardcore Geek".

It might be adequate, but compilers usually have no humor.

Well, I thought I was 2 (str.replace("man", "woman")) but then I saw 7. It made me laugh the most partly out of discomfort. :-O So I'd say I'm 60%-2 and 40%-7.
