Quiz complete

You're already past code-first thinking.

The archetype quiz was built to diagnose the specific traps that show up in Phase 1–2 thinking — tool chasing, course hoarding, confidence masks, conveyor belt jobs. Based on your answers, those aren't your patterns.

The 5 Phases of Craftship
Phase 1 — Code-First
Phase 2 — Best Practice-First
Phase 3 — Pattern-First ← you're likely here or above
Phase 4 — Responsibility-First
Phase 5 — Value-First

Your growth edge isn't about escaping code-first traps — it's about pushing deeper into domain thinking, responsibility modeling, and value-first design. The Phases quiz will tell you exactly where you are and what's next.

3 patterns identified

These aren't personality types — they're traps. Every single one is a flavor of the same root problem: code-first thinking. The good news is they're all fixable once you can see them clearly.

The line that applies to every pattern

We're done with "I know this tool, I know that framework." Teams get cleaned out — not dramatically, but quietly. The developers who survive are the ones who can show what they've actually built and defend why. Where's your proof?

There's a clear path out of this.

The fundamentals that actually matter haven't changed in 40 years. Design, architecture, testing, domain thinking — built into whatever you're already working on. In 16 weeks, stop sounding like you know architecture and actually be able to defend it.
