Don Quixote

Eric was a Don Quixote when he thought he could save Gina from drugs. She's been hooked on crack for over a decade, and still hangs around dopeboys. He is out of his head on a lost cause.

dev quixote

In an IT software situation, an extremely irrational and highly-motivated developer, who takes charge of a software project through sheer force of will rather than competence and leads it in a direction which guarantees failure.

Background: The Don Quixote of literature had a tendency to do extraordinarily stupid things without thinking them through. But after exhausting unsuccessful attempts to redirect his ill-fated efforts, people were loathe to try and stop him on account of his being a few cans short of a six pack.
I am officially referring to my development lead as "Dev Quixote" from this point on. He's got the idea in his head that everything under the sun needs to be containerized and run in Kubernetes; we even have docker-in-docker. On top of that, the larger organization has given up and let him carry on after he convinced management of his "bold" ideas.
