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's not remotely rare except in corporate life but then you'd need to go out into the wide world and find this out for yourself instead of sticking within what falsely appears to be a safe little bubble to know it.

Whatever. Many jobs that never used to require degrees now require them. That doesn't mean there are no employers that do not require degrees, but they are fewer in number. I own my own business anyway, so it's not currently an issue.

Fewer != few. There are a hell of a lot of tech jobs outside large-to-giant corporations and almost none of them require anything but demonstrable competence.
