As part of writing our book, Kyle and I have spent some time coming up with archetypes that exist on many of the software projects that we’ve been on. Our goal is just to describe what we’ve seen so that people can better identify them in their journeys. Of course this had to be written in a dry, sarcastic manner. I’m going to keep updating this post with the links for the new archetypes as I post the series.
