I realize that here at HN we don't really do humour, mostly because I think we fear turning into Reddit with useless gigantic threads of people making sophomoric jokes and bad puns.

And I admit that that link was sophomoric. But given some of the large personalities that get linked from this site and the general tone of HN, I thought this piece of humour was very welcome. It lets everyone here laugh out loud about themselves, their ambitions and this community in general.

Many of those rockstar programmers are probably rockstars in the sense of Spinal Tap.
