Like the in every other profession, programming has its fair share of characters. From the arrogant genius to the enthusiastic incompetent and every flavor in between, you come across a recurring set of personalities, until you start wondering if nature uses her own set of design patterns for developers. I came across this article on Digg which, details a nice set of design patterns for programming characters. I have been I am sorry to say several of the characters depicted at various stages of my career and I suspect I still am some of them. If you have known me please leave a comment on the one you felt I was around you… I am not promising, but I will try to improve :-)
