If you have ever worked in software-related industries, the chances are that the word “Rockstar” will elicit a visceral reaction. It’s a word used by a Certain Type Of Manager for an elite software developer who’s so 1337 they don’t play by the rules of ordinary mortals. In reality it’s use is invariably an indication of trouble ahead, either from clueless startups or troublesome rockstar developers making a toxic atmosphere for the mere members of the backing band. Hackaday has a team that brings together a huge breadth of experience, and we’ve been there.
Think I'll stick to being a roadie developer. You know, get my job done so other people can do theirs.

TFS doesn't describe TFA well. It's about a silly, stupid programming language. Like Brain**** [wikipedia.org], but less readable and less useful.

My brainfuck goes up to 11, see thats better than 10.
I like the comment from the article:
Uh, what about Visual Basic or Java?
Java is a very agricultural language in that there's this inbred group living in distant hills (India, mostly) who spend inordinate amounts of effort on ridiculously complicated and dangerous often fatal rube goldberg contraptions to do unimaginable things; meanwhile the rest of the world is like "don't troll me with your enterprise java hello world factory pattern bullshit, everyone knows that food comes from supermarkets not all this combine harvester make believe harry potter object oriented witchcraft that you talk about all day that apparently randomly rips the arms off operators occasionally, just assign x=1 + 1 like every other civilized language and put your UML diagrams and development patterns over there by the pile of Sears catalogs so we can wipe our butts in the outhouse". But other than that, I really love Java, no really. Naw just kidding, I hate that bullshit.

But you can't dust for vomit.
