Understanding the Psychology of Programming, by Bryan Dollery.
Contrary to popular belief, programmers more frequently resemble artists than scientists. If you want to maximize the creative potential on your development team, you've got to start thinking about the psychology of the programmer and be willing to back it up with management policy.
Very accurate. Do programmers work for you? Or near you? Do you interact with them? Do they always seem absent-minded and upset at you for interrupting them? Not to mention just fucking weird? READ THIS ARTICLE.
If none of the above apply to you, READ THIS ARTICLE, too. Might come in handy.
'Course, while I'm at it, try reading Dave Kiersey's Please Understand Me. And then the Hacker FAQ.
