Also known as Guerrilla Programming or Guerrilla Development, this technique of coding is employed by only the best. Their hiring manager and the higher ups that don't know shit about programming definitely think these dudes are "Unicorns" and they love that these guys can code, design do Visios and PowerPoints and present them at Keynotes and other engagements, especially around tech savvy clients or at least clients who think they are tech savvy but again probably don't know shit. Common characteristics a Guerrilla Coder (Unicorns): 1. They have near 20 years experience in the business, but probably have been programming since 7, brining up their experience to well over the three decade mark. A programmer like this with 35 years coding experience has seen and done it all. 2. They have balls. They take risks that other programmers on their team would never do. And people respect them for that. 3. They are pretty arrogant, but have the skills and experience and reputation and balls to back it up. So they don’t really care if they are stepping on other developer’s toes. Again Balls and Respect. 4. Sometimes they break the built. But on one else on the team has the balls to tell them shit. 5. They love the saying “I don’t always test my code, but when I do I do it in production.” Somehow they get away with not thoroughly testing their code like the other developers, but that’s because somehow it almost always works.
