Yeah. I was scanning the text, saw "EMC" and started having second thoughts, "rock star developers" appeared and I just closed the tab.
I honestly don't understand the term "rock star developer".
Are they trying to imply that the developer is moody; makes ridiculous demands like "i need a bowl of 271 all-blue M&Ms on my desk each day at precisely 11:12:13 AM"; cannot be trusted with hotel fixtures and furniture; is almost certainly an alcoholic and/or drug addict; will have on average 3 well publicised "shocker" moments that gain world wide media attention; expect to have sex with multiple young fans?
I mean, I know the tech industry loves to re-invent words and terms just because, but let's face it, rock stars sometimes produce good music, and almost always would make terrible friends, colleagues, employees or spouses.
