Don't think I've had the pleasure of actually meeting any of those types in real life. It is a joke after all of course, but they do seem more like different 'hats' that most programmers come wear every now and then, rather than static 'types'... /pun

Cute. I wonder, though, is there a reason why the English in the last category is so garbled? Maybe we need a list of types of writer, or editor.

It seems to be because the entire post is plagiarised from a Tech Republic article, except for that last paragraph and the images (which I'm sure are also used without permission).

The post is worse than blogspam and the mods should change the link.

apologises, i didn't know that it was not the original article. Mods can edit the link. robert_tweed you can file a DMCA Takedown Notice to the owner of the blog.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Nobody actually conforms perfectly to any of those archetypes, but I think most programmers can identify with all of them to some degree.
