@b0rk hope you don't mind, I'm adding more descriptive alt text so all viewers can more fully enjoy this great comic!

a comic by Julia Evans (@bork) titled "some people who make programming easier"

it's a 3x3 grid with a tiny example under each header

the loud newbie
- asks "wait how does X work??"
- someone thinks "I'm so glad they asked, I was wondering that too..."

the grumpy old timer
- someone says "X is so cool!"
- g.o.t. says "it is! let me tell you about some ways it can break though..."

the bug chronicler
- thinks "that bug was so gnarly, I'm going to write an extremely clear description of what happened so we can all learn from it"

the documentarian
- someone says "here's how you do x"
- doc thinks "I'll put those instructions in our wiki!"

the "today I learned"
- says "I just learned this cool new tool
-says "check out this weird bug!"

the "I've read the entire Internet"
- someone says "how does X work?"
- "I've read" says "ah, I read about that recently... here's a link from my 200 browser tabs"

the tool builder
- says "everyone keeps getting confused by x! I'm going to fix it with code!"

the question answerer
- someone says "hey can you explain how x works?"
- q.a. says "I would love to"

the final panel is blank, maybe for you and your role
