Types of Developers

Nah, was my mother... :laugh: I've been a contractor for so long that when I started Intel had just begun selling the abacus...
"If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." Red Adair. nils illegitimus carborundum me, me, me
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

Wow - way before my time!

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!

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.

As Braveheart once said, "You can take our freedom but you'll never take our Hobnobs!" - Martin Hughes.

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.

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.
At least my type is in this list : #8: The Paratrooper

I'm #2, the "Experienced Old Man" :sigh:. "But I'm writing it in C#! I'm using WPF!" he screams as he's dragged off to the old programmer's home...

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... :)

When I'm doing contracting work, I prefer the following description: "I may be a whore, but at least I ain't cheap."

Interesting. A couple of entries in the '10 list' were quoted almost literally in the '7 list'.

You never used the Microsoft C 6.0 compiler then, with optimization turned on. Its idea of hysterically funny was to move references to variables declared
volatilearound willy-nilly if they appeared to be loop-invariant. I was not amused :suss:.Software Zen:

delete this;I used to work with Visual C++ very much, but it has more and more been replaced by C#. Your problem is the result of a mislead optimization. The code probably would have worked with optimizing turned off and doing it yourself where needed. At the moment I'm writing a little 3D engine and would have loved to do it in good old unsafe C++ once again. But the rest of the project is managed code, so I guess a C# graphics engine fits in better.

That was the solution. The not-so-amusing part was detecting the problem, which started out with anomalous retries in serial communications and ended with several days of pouring over machine language listings of the code.
