I would add one category: pump and dump freelancers. The type that never have to live with the consequences of what they implement or develop. This correlates closely with CV-driven development.

In order to sniff these people out, all you need is a five-minute conversation where you challenge them on something innocuous. You'll find they have no arguments, overuse authority arguments and blindly follow the gospel of well-known programming books. Once at that point, quietly extricate yourself from the conversation and start sending out CVs.

These kind of people will fuck your shit up if you let them or can't find a way to limit your interaction with them.
