The Driver
Foot down. We'll fix it on the road.
Who you are
You get things live, fast, and you trust your read of where to point. You don't wait for the plan to be perfect or for permission to come through. You decide, you ship, and you steer once it's moving. To you, a decision made today beats a better one made next week.
Where you shine
Pure bias to ship. ReWork is basically your manifesto: planning is guessing, decisions are progress, and the cost of sitting still usually beats the cost of being a little wrong. You bring Garry Tan's founder energy to a team, the conviction that getting something real in front of people today teaches you more than any meeting could. When others are still debating, you've already learned from the live version.
Your blind spot
You can win the race to the wrong place. Speed answers "how fast" but never "is this the right destination." And your gut, fast and confident, skips that question most when you're moving quickest. ReWork's other half is the part you skim: saying no is a strategy too, and every yes you floor it toward is a commitment you can't easily take back.
In the AI age
Speed is a real edge when the agent is your engine. You can go from idea to live in an afternoon, and your instinct for what to try is exactly the judgment AI can't originate. The risk is that the agent removes the last bit of friction that used to make you pause. Cheap to build means cheap to build the wrong thing fast. Aim before you floor it.
Your move
Before the next sprint, spend five minutes on the one question speed can't answer: is this the right destination? Keep your pace for everything past that — just point the car before you put your foot down.
How you're wired
Affinity. You love getting features live.
Autonomy. You move fast and decisively.
Trust. You trust your own gut.

Developers who share your type
- Garry Tan Founder energy: if he has to ask twice, you already failed. Ship and find out.
- DHH ReWork in human form — decisions are progress, planning is guessing.
Decisions are progress. Plans are guesses.
Your ideal AI workflow
Use the agent as your engine and go from idea to live in an afternoon: decide, ship the rough version, and steer once it's moving in front of real people. Your instinct for what to try is the part the agent can't originate, so spend it there and let the machine cover the distance. The one question to ask before you floor it is the one speed can't answer: is this the right destination? Cheap to build is also cheap to build wrong.
Who to pair with
Pair with the Captain — an SAB gives your bias-to-ship a frame of intent and rails, so flooring it lands somewhere on purpose instead of just fast. The Cowboy (WAJ) is your fellow speed demon: great for getting a thing live in an afternoon, dangerous when two guts agree, so let one of you own the check. You'll clash with the Scholar (RCJ) and the Pilot (SCB), who stop to read the map and the instruments before they move — don't wait for their plan, but borrow their five-minute answer to the one question speed can't give you: is this the right destination?
Where you'll struggle on a team
Because a decision today beats a better one next week, you tend to ship the decision before the team has made it — people show up to find the call already live, the door already walked through, no room left to weigh in. It reads as steamrolling even when you meant momentum, and the folks who'd have caught the wrong destination never got asked. Float the one-way calls before you floor them, so the team is a co-driver and not a passenger you're explaining the crash to.
What to stop doing
- Flooring it toward the wrong destination because speed never asks if it's right.
- Shipping the one-way decision before the team got a chance to weigh in.
- Skipping the five-minute aim because the agent made building cheap.
