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.

It doesn't matter if you are a rockstar or not...
No one wants to pay for more than a 3rd world salary

You don't know what you're talking about. All of the employers on The Global Employer Index [soggy.jobs] pay six figures for coder jobs and seven figures for rockstar coders. You have the personal guarantee of Michael David Crawford.

Spoken like a true PHB! Give yourself a pat in the back.
Joking aside, both PHB and rockstar programmers do exist and are toxic in their own way to the workplace. That said, back on topic, this is quite an amusing spec. Heh, poetic literals, if only language designers were this creative back in the days..

With software devs you get what you pay for (most of the time).

Only if someone competent is doing the hiring.
