Michael Lopp - Stables and volatiles
Stables - appreciate direction, happy to work with a plan - they appreciate it. Order is good. dot the i’s and cross the t’s. Play nice with others and are carefully work to mitigate failure make good & predictable decisions.
Volatiles - define strategy rather than follow it; failure is not interesting to them. Risk gives a thrill. Code volume over quality. Reliable when it’s in their best interest. Tell them what to do and they’ll say ‘fuck you’. Allow them to choose by proposing you have a hard problem and ask if they can help or give you their advice and they’ll jump right in (a bit like a 5 year old!)
