>I think I follow that model. Except that I'm in the "look professional, respect the client" crowd. Short hair, suit and tie.

>>Yup. You missed the normal guy, wearing business-casual cloths, no rings, no long hair (not that I have something against), the guy who's like other thousands guys, who can code in a decent way, can market his work but cannot sell impossible things, etc. :))

>>>I think I have identified the 3 types of technical consultants. These are:
>>>
>>>1) The smooth talker. Someone who can sell icecubes to Eskimos, sand to Arabia, but can't code his or her way out of a paper bag. Always turns to subcontractors to do the dirty work.
>>>
>>>2) The eager beaver. Someone who has good marketing and technical skills but gets jerked around by clients because he or she can never say no to change or enhancement requests.
>>>
>>>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?
