I especially appreciate the part toward the end where you say: "If you are first starting out, you probably think that you can learn to live with anything so long as the pay is good, but, trust me, it grates a little more on you with each passing day." If you have any sort of conscience or sensitivity, the double talk and politics that surrounds you in the average office will wear you down. There are things that go in in an average workplace that actively penalize you from producing good quality, well documented code. Excellent post!!

I met all of them while doing interviews. My favourite is the Middle Manager: so easy to convince. This is brilliant. I met all of them while doing interviews.
