πŸ€“ 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.


πŸ¦„ The Unicorn

Do they really exist? It is told that some of them are in possession of the very rare early bird medal πŸ₯‡

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.

πŸŽ… 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.

In addition, the "I tried it before, it won't work" people who fall in the same basket.

Yeah haha :D
It's actually an okay reply, as long as that person is willing to figure out & help solve the issue.
