Recommendation

If you had to pick a superhero with whom to identify, would you consider yourself a “Flash” or more of an “Aquaman”? First Round Review meets with entrepreneur Lloyd Tabb to discuss the four “superhero” personality types he associates with software engineers. Along with a description of the main “superpowers” of each superhero, Tabb also explains how to keep each type happy and inspired. He closes the loop with suggestions for how to manage each of the four critical personalities. getAbstract recommends this article to senior leaders at start-up technology companies, as well as developers looking to better understand their own professional goals and motivations.

Take-Aways

  • Software engineers gravitate toward four “superhero” personality types:
  • An “Aquaman” – or woman – enjoys solving complex problems that require a “deep dive” into the code.
  • “The Flash” focuses on getting a project to the demo stage as fast as possible.
