Could you apply your criticism to Gitlab personas in the link above? I am not sure I am following how politics, religiousness, age, melanin level, love of chocolate, etc. etc. could be relevant in that example.
- makeitdouble 4y agoThe “Sasha” engineer persona’s frustrations part: > I’m frustrated when requirements change after work has already begun on a project. > I’m frustrated when work is inaccurately scoped, because it causes stress and eats into time planned for other work. > I’m frustrated when I come across brittle code and something that should be an easy fix requires a lot of rework. > I’m concerned that by taking longer than expected on a task I may be judged or seen as blocking others’ work. This feels like a very rigid and grumpy personality, pretty unidimensional with the the “serious business” knob turned to 11. That is I think the ‘"follows all the stereotypes" and is a straight 1.’ phenomenon parent is referring to.
