Rolexander the Great
The legendary sales engineer who conquered his territory years ago and never gave it back.
He hits quota every quarter without trying, spends most of his time at lunches, and has management so terrified of losing him that they refuse to raise his quota or split his region.
He’s not technical.
He’s not sober.
He’s not replaceable.
He’s a myth, a menace, and a walking HR liability.

Rolexander the Great rolled into QBR twenty minutes late, hungover, and still won SE of the Year because his territory prints money like a cursed mint.
He’s so Rolexander that he closed a six‑figure deal during a three‑martini lunch and then forgot he did it.
Management tried to adjust his quota once. He threatened to quit. They apologized.
Rolexander the Great doesn’t do demos. He does lunches. The deals close themselves out of fear or respect.
He’s a bad drunk, a worse engineer, and the best revenue generator the company has ever seen.

Bespokezist
A Bespokezist is a PM who mutates every normal word into a cursed corporate chimera. They say bespokezist solutioning, utilizazion, prioritizazion, and paradigmatic harmonizazion while presenting the same slides across five different products.
The Bespokezist unveiled a ‘bespokezized paradigm shift’ that was just last quarter’s deck with a different logo.
I didnt know who he was talking about. Who is Zed, and why is he underutilised?

Featurepriest
A Featurepriest is a sales‑engineer trainer who can recite every feature, function, and configuration of the product with religious precision — but has absolutely no clue what the industry actually does. They preach the product like scripture, blessing trainees with encyclopedic knowledge of menus and settings while having no earthly idea why any customer would care.They are devout.
They are confident.
They are utterly disconnected from reality.
A Featurepriest doesn’t teach solutions.
They teach buttons.
They don’t explain value.
They explain tabs.
They don’t understand the industry.
They understand the UI.They mean well — but they’re vapid as a cathedral built entirely out of tooltips.

The Featurepriest walked us through every configuration screen like a holy pilgrimage, then froze when someone asked, ‘Why would a customer use this?’ as if struck by divine confusion.
He’s such a Featurepriest that he can quote the product manual verbatim, but if you ask what problem it solves, he stares into the void like a monk contemplating death.
Watching a Featurepriest train new hires is like watching someone teach the anatomy of a creature they’ve never seen alive — all structure, no soul.
She knows every feature, every shortcut, every hidden menu, but when a trainee asked how it helps the industry, she whispered, ‘I… don’t know,’ like a cleric losing faith.
Once you’re a Featurepriest, you don’t teach context. You teach keystrokes. You don’t understand customers. You understand dropdowns. You don’t guide people. You indoctrinate them.

Shadow Engineer
A shadow engineer is a sales engineer who drifted into the role after a layoff, carried not by skill or experience but by the spectral prestige of their previous employer.
They have no technical depth, no swagger, no real understanding of the product — just a faint corporate aura and a LinkedIn profile that looks better than they do.
They haunt meetings silently, offering nothing but nervous nods and vague affirmations. When asked a technical question, they don’t answer — they evaporate, leaving the salesperson to scramble while they stare blankly like a ghost who forgot how to haunt.

The Shadow Engineer sat through the entire demo without saying a word, then vanished into silence when the prospect asked about integrations, leaving the room colder than before.
He’s such a Shadow Engineer that when someone asked about API limits, he blinked twice, whispered ‘Good question,’ and then stared at the wall like he was waiting for instructions from the afterlife.
She floated into the meeting with the confidence of her former employer’s logo, then dissolved the moment someone asked anything requiring actual technical thought.
Watching a Shadow Engineer in action is like watching a mannequin pretend to troubleshoot — all presence, no substance, and a faint smell of corporate decay.

Pitchpuppet
A Pitchpuppet is a salesperson who knows the corporate pitch down to the syllable but has absolutely no idea what the product actually solves.
They flap into meetings full of confidence, reciting memorized value props like a possessed marionette. But the moment a prospect asks anything technical — anything real — the Pitchpuppet freezes, eyes go blank, and they immediately defer to their solutions engineer like a panicked scarecrow calling for its farmer.
They mean well.
They try hard.
But inside?
It’s just echoing emptiness and a quota.
They are the corporate strawman:
All pitch.
No substance.
All enthusiasm.
No comprehension.

The Pitchpuppet launched into a flawless monologue about ‘enterprise transformation,’ then collapsed into silence when asked how the product integrates, staring at the engineer like a child waiting to be rescued from a burning building.
He’s such a Pitchpuppet that when the prospect asked a basic technical question, he froze mid‑smile and whispered, ‘Let me defer to my engineer,’ like a broken animatronic begging for reboot.”
“She means well, but every time she speaks, you can hear the hollow thud of a pitch deck where her technical knowledge should be.
Watching a Pitchpuppet in a meeting is like watching a scarecrow try to explain quantum physics — all charm, no neurons, and a desperate glance toward the engineer every thirty seconds.
Once you’re a Pitchpuppet, you don’t answer questions. You redirect them. You don’t understand the product. You understand the script. And you rely on your engineer like a life‑support machine.”

Promptologist
A Promptologist isn’t just someone who speaks in prompts — they’re someone who’s fallen into prompts.
They’ve fought the AI so long and so viciously that their humanity has eroded into a syntax‑driven husk.
They linger in the shadows of the office like a political vampire who feeds not on blood, but on context, parameters, and the suffering of anyone who tries to talk to them normally.They don’t converse.
They extract input.
They don’t reply.
They generate output.
A Promptologist is what happens when you mix a debate moderator, a vampire senator, and a prompt engineer who hasn’t slept since Q2.

A Promptologist is what happens when you mix a debate moderator, a vampire senator, and a prompt engineer who hasn’t slept since Q2.
He’s become such a Promptologist that he lurks behind monitors, waiting for someone to speak so he can whisper, ‘Context insufficient. Provide emotional metadata.’ His eyes don’t blink anymore.
She’s so far gone into Promptology that when I asked if she was okay, she turned slowly, like a corrupted NPC, and said, ‘System error: empathy module not found.’ I felt the temperature drop.
The Promptologist doesn’t join meetings. He appears in them — a silhouette in the corner, feeding on every vague sentence until someone finally says something structured enough for him to respond.
I saw the Promptologist in the break room, hunched over the coffee machine like a starving vampire. When I said ‘Morning,’ he whispered, ‘User greeting detected. Insufficient parameters. Please specify tone.’ His voice sounded like a dying server.
Once you’re a Promptologist, you don’t sleep. You idle. You don’t eat. You consume context. You don’t socialize. You extract data from human speech like a political ghoul campaigning for clarity in the dark.
She’s Promptologist‑level depraved — she tried to comfort a coworker by saying, ‘Trauma detected. Please categorize severity for optimized response.’ The coworker cried harder.

Tokenboned
Someone who lent their precious AI tokens to a coworker—usually a Tokenboner—and now doesn’t have enough left to finish their own tasks.
A Tokenboned employee is basically the corporate version of someone who gave away their oxygen tank because “you looked like you needed it more.”

I let Mark borrow tokens for his ‘urgent prompt,’ and now I’m Tokenboned so badly my project plan looks like a crime scene.
Mary realized she was Tokenboned when her model refused to run and her coworker refused to make eye contact.
I’m so Tokenboned that my deliverable is now just a single bullet point and a prayer.
