Job descriptions just shouldn't have "rock star" or "ninja" unless they are hired on their ability to perform music in front of an audience or on their katana wielding skills.

Rock Star: that guy who shows up late and worked on a hit project 15 years ago that he's always bringing up.
Ninja: that guy who's never at his desk and never says anything in meetings.
You forgot to mention "brings his katana to meetings" (the sword, not the Suzuki motorcycle).
It's kind of "friend-of-a-friend", but I had a boss who told me about working with a developer who actually did that, I think at a game company in the late 80s.
By any chance was it puts on sunglasses John Romero?
YEAHHH!
