The Fourteen Types of Programmers

• Type One --- Tired Ones
• Many programmers are tired. They are tired of
  struggling to learn new technologies. They are
  tired of dealing with difficult customers. They
  are tired of having to deal with half-baked
  solutions and unclear documentation. They are
  tired of listening to others tell them that
  theyre falling behind.

Good Things Bad Things

• They are stable and predictable
• They know some things, and they know them very
  well. You can be fairly well assured that if you
  ask them about something they are familiar with,
  they will have a solid answer
• -They suck the life from the organization
• -They find ways to be skeptical about new ideas
  and concepts
• -They will attempt to undermine changes that
  might lead towards their obsolescence

The Fourteen Types of Programmers

• Type Two --- Those That like shiny Things
• Some programmers are fickle. They love to try new
  things, new technologies, new systems. They love
  struggling with the newness, mastering the bugs,
  overcoming the lack of documentation (or the
  voluminous mess that passes for documentation).
  They flit like a butterfly from thing to thing,
  sampling, tasting and moving on. ..

Two types of programmers

• There are two "classes" of programmers in the
  world of software development
• We are going to call them
• ? the 20
• And
• ? the 80 ---by Jeff Atwood

The 20

• The leaders, trailblazers, trendsetters .
• ? The first ones to install Linux at home in
  the 90's
• ? Write lisp compilers and learn Haskell on
  weekends "just for fun"
• ? Actively participate in open source projects
• ?Aware of the latest, coolest new trends in
  programming and tools. .

14
The 80

• make up the bulk of the software development
  industry
• ?Went to school, learned just enough Java/C/C
  .
• ?Then got a job writing internal apps for banks,
  governments, travel firms,
• ?Use whatever tools the company handed to them
• ?Know exactly enough to get their job done
• ?Go home and forget about computers.

How to become good programmer?

• Coding is important, but it's overall a small
  part of the process.

17
How to become good programmer?

• The nature of these jobs is not just closing
  your door and doing coding, and it's easy to get
  that fact out. The greatest missing skill is
  somebody who's both good at understanding the
  engineering and who has good relationships with
  the hard-core engineers, and bridges that to
  working with the customers and the marketing and
  things like that. And so that sort of engineering
  management career track, even amongst all the
  people we have, we still fall short of finding
  people who want to do that, and so we often have
  to push people into it.
