EDIT: If there are three or more good profiles in the comment I will dedicate a new post to them, let's see how many we can create!

Developers

Developers, they come in all shapes and sizes. What do most of them have in common? They don't like to be put in a box. Despite this I'm going to do just that 😜 I'm going to try to capture different developer characteristics by matching them with their own personal icon 😊 I'd really like to know: with what kind of developer can you relate to the most? I'll start by describing 3 types, but please feel free to leave your own "iconic developer" in the comments!

🧐 The know-it-all

This programmer always seems to know the best solution, at least that's their belief.

Habitat

Enjoys being around other programmers to showcase their knowledge. Can mostly be found crawling the web.

Best to ask for

Doing research on new frameworks/tools because gathering knowledge is their power.

Needs works on

Mostly needs to work on getting stuff done. There is a big difference between code in your head and actual code.

🤠 The cowboy

This programmer writes code faster than their shadow. This speed comes with a cost though.

Habitat

Enjoys hackathons and feels comfortable in a team with other cowboys!

Best to ask for

Creating a proof of concepts that needs to be done fast.

Needs works on

Writing code that is less prone to error and easier to maintain. Mostly the code of a cowboy is not something you want the change later on.

🤪 The funny one

Making puns all day and leaving Easter eggs left and right in the code. Keeps the team happy!

Habitat

Are at their best in a close team. Likes to add joy to programming!

Best to ask for

Creating a proof of concepts that needs to be done fast.

Needs works on

Being less influenced by the mood of others. Consistency in the code is hard if the mood is off.

There must be more 😎

Please let me know what you can come up with!
