I would peg myself as 80% group 1 and 20% group 2. The 3's make awesome tools for the rest of us, but I believe they have their own thought process that us mere mortals find hard to understand.

Awesome breakdown. As someone who is early in their career. I am gradually moving from group 1 to group 2 due to the company I work at and I am enjoying the learning process. It is stressful but it is enjoyable .

I moved from type 1 to 2 quickly by job hopping for new challenges often and spending time on personal projects.

There is a pretty common subtype of type2. The know decent Python and Spark but not much else, as they write mostly data pipelines, ETL, in a managed solution
