I'm sensing a pattern in these answers:

> There is no “solution” to The Rockstar Developer

> It is impossible to solve The Aspiring Manager

> The Extreme Overestimator... is fixable, but there is no will to fix it.

> if The Incompetent Developer had the capacity to learn software development, they would have already

> All in all, [The Soldier is] nearly an impossible problem to fix.

> There is no fixing The Legacy Maintainer
