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.

Is there room for groupie developers, I wonder?

I wanna be the developer that supplies the hookers and blow.
I want a Microsoft bigwig to jump around like a monkey yelling "Pimps, pimps, pimps..."
