how many horizontal people are programmers? i am both. being horizontal, to me, is less about thinking differently and more about being a lazy efficient programmer. i get by with what i can get by on and i focus as exclusively as possible on the real meat of the project, which in this case is life. i always viewed finishing what i work on and putting things away as things to strive for. i've noticed improvements over the years. i've never felt like i thought differently and 'oh others don't understand.' thinking that 'vertical' people are magically able to put work into filing cabinets rather than layer half-finished projects on their desk is like thinking that i was magically born knowing biology and history. i did well in school because i worked hard. i was encouraged along that path because i had a good memory and enjoyed reading and reasoning. maybe those same things are helping me slide on the horizontal track, whereas vertical folks quickly have oh shit moments where bills don't get paid and freak out.
