Dear community, while doing research, I just stumbled across these three names and their story. Apparently, Microsoft created these three user personas. Check this german Wiki article or this english blog of Nikhil Kothari.

The reason for Microsoft was to be able to better categorize the requirements of users (developers) on Visual Studio. I don’t know if the story is true. But I find the basic idea behind the user personas good  Ok, basically there are a different ways to categorize developers. In the past I had published a blog about one way. But that is less of a topic today.

I just wanted to remind in between to think about the users of the software we write every day. Personas are a really nice possibility to “visualize” them and hence an element of user experience design. I remember using personas in some of the Design Thinking sessions that I attended. Every time it was fun, exciting and very informative. It’s very interesting when different people use their experiences to design one or more virtual characters together. In particular, the “expected” expectations on software 

Best regards, thanks for reading and stay healthy
