## 💻 [name]
#### Habitat
#### Best to ask for
#### Needs works on
🤓 The perfectionist
Spends their time making everything perfect, re-usable and beautiful. Sometimes forgets what they were actually supposed to be making.
Habitat
Can be seen staring at the same code file for hours. Usually has a perfect development environment with all the best tools.
Best to ask for
Advice on how to clean up or generalize your code. Can also help you get the best development setup available.
Needs works on
Keeping it simple and getting sh*t done.
🦄 The Unicorn
Do they really exist? It is told that some of them are in possession of the very rare early bird medal 🥇
Habitat
Rarely seen, some people seem to believe the unicorn developer hides somewhere on dev.to.. who knows
Best to ask for
Whatever, they are awesome all the way
Needs works on
Stage fright, please show yourself unicorn developers!
🚫 Doctor no
Doctor no, not the villain you'd expect.. They sometimes seem evil but really, they have a good heart! Are always sure there's a better way of doing things. If you come up with an idea they disagree by default and force their own view on the matter.
Habitat
Behind the computer searching for counter arguments.
Best to ask for
For getting different perspectives on the problem or if you need a good NO!
Needs works on
Listening to others and try to collaborate.

🎅 The tools Santa
Do you have a problem you don't know how to solve? They have a tool for you.
Habitat
Your everyday office, forums, anywhere really. If you have a question, they are there to answer with a tool (a new software, library, etc).
Best to ask for
An over-engineered solution to a problem. They have experience with a whole lot of tools.
Needs works on
Tone it down a bit. Not everything needs to be solved with a new tool.
My contribution to the Iconic devs😅
Nice one! Thanks for joining in 😊
How about those "I know it all" people, who actually don't know it all :D
In addition, the "I tried it before, it won't work" people who fall in the same basket.
and the WOMM programmer (Works On My Machine)
This!!😂
Yeah haha :D
It's actually an okay reply, as long as that person is willing to figure out & help solve the issue.
This one is a winner 😅😊
A container called Rudolph maybe??😅
It always has to be present 🙄
🤣 I think most people know one of those
Good one! 😂
