>3) The wild-eyed guru. Someone who wears casual clothes and sports long hair, an earring, or some other affectation. A demon coder who is not terribly smart, business-wise, but can code anything. Otherwise known as "the gunslinger".

>Any basic types I'm missing?
Yes
4) The Inexperienced High-Schooler, bad at coding, bad at business. You don't see them too much because we're too busy debugging computer games for the kids down the block.
