🌲 LeetCode warrior: Excels at algorithmic problems but lacks real-world software engineering skills. Over-engineers solutions, often ignoring maintainability and business needs. Struggles with system design, debugging, and writing clean, production-ready code.

⌨ Hackathon enthusiast: Great at building quick prototypes but rarely finishes a polished product. Optimizes for speed and flashy demos rather than robustness and maintainability.

πŸ“ˆ Trend chaser: Constantly talking about the latest JavaScript frameworks. Pushes new technologies onto the team without fully understanding them. Often leaves behind a trail of half-adopted, abandoned tools.

πŸ€“ FP nerd: Insists on using functional programming in every scenario, even when impractical. Writes overly abstract code that confuses teammates unfamiliar with FP paradigms. Prefers theoretical purity over pragmatic solutions.

πŸ’ͺ Brogrammer: More focused on culture fit and team β€œvibes” than actual engineering skills. Dismisses best practices in favor of quick-and-dirty coding. Often resistant to feedback, documentation, and improving team collaboration.

🀠 Cowboy coder: Writes code without tests, documentation, or team collaboration. Pushes directly to production without peer reviews or version control discipline. Prefers quick fixes over long-term maintainability, often breaking things.

πŸ€– AI coder: Great at prompting to generate code quickly. However, lacks deep understanding of business logic, struggles with complex problem solving, and may introduce subtle errors.

πŸ”ˆ LinkedIn creator: Spends a majority of their free time researching trends and buzz words in the industry to craft high engagement posts with surface level knowledge of actual software development.
