The author is clearly a developer, as there are some positive stereotypes in that category, but no positive stereotypes in any other category.

I'm guessing their perspective on the related roles is either only through the lens of a developer, or through no lens at all, just squinting from afar.

The site is titled "how to deal with difficult people..." Not nice, competent, or all people, just a specific negative subtype.

I totally agree with the comments about not stereotyping coworkers. The way this site is setup is naturally contrarian to that idea.

While that is the title of the site, the site also has an entire section dedicated to "Dev Types" which all sound like a one-sided glorification of highly questionable developer behaviors.

Everything about this site feels gross.

~There are no positive stereotypes in that category.~ Scratch that, you are correct. The entire website does have some, outside of that "difficult people section".

But there are way more stereotypes there, so I agree that they are probably a developer.
