The Arcanist is probably the closest to what I can see in myself. I tend to be protective over the systems I design in order to preserve them. This comes from years of geeking out about things like memory allocators and networking stacks, so when I catch a whiff of someone talking about introducing a terrible inefficiency or unreliability into the system I helped put together I put up the defenses. This post is a good satirical look at this aspect of my work, and probably a bit of a wake-up call.
