Developer Differences: Makers vs. Menders
- mentioned_edu 10y agoThis is really really spot on. I am definitely a maker, and as my company grows, I really believe we need to stock up on the mender-types. So critical to have those skills and those personalities as part of an org.
- ScottBurson 10y agoMenders love refactoring, or editing code to enhance clarity. Yes, I like those things. Bug fixes genuinely excite them Not always, but sometimes... and they get a little giddy about testing. Hmm, I think you lost me here. "Giddy" is not the word I would use :-) I can't put myself firmly in either camp. As a matter of necessity I do mostly maintenance, but I really enjoy starting something new. I would go so far as to suggest that the compleat programmer should be good at both.
