Excellent article. Also a good reason to remind everyone of the Rockstar programming language: https://github.com/RockstarLang/rockstar

"But why?

Mainly because if we make Rockstar a real (and completely pointless) programming language, then recruiters and hiring managers won't be able to talk about 'rockstar developers' any more."

Now we just need to add a "Ninja" programming language, and maybe a couple more.

I don't care much about the PDP-10, but I'd be amused to be able to say that I'm a TENEX programmer.

Shoot, unfortunately this looks like it may actually be a real thing.

Hey, we pretty much did hire a rockstar developer, if you'll count industrial metal. He was in a signed band that made it on to MTV2 and MTVX and got nominated for a Billboard Music Award.

So rockstar developers exist. This is real.
