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.

I’m sooo glad that cultural appropriation wasn’t invented until recently.
Fuck, let’s talk about the Indo-Arabian number system [wikipedia.org] (yep, the one we use today), and the Phoenician alphabet [wikipedia.org] (yes, we use a variant of it).
And don’t get me started on Spaghetti Bolognese, you shouldn’t try to cook it unless you’re are Italian of course, or you do realize that tomatoes [wikipedia.org] came from America (the continent) and the spaghetti from Arabia [1]; so as they say, if you steal from a thief you get one hundred years of pardon. (Ladrón que roba a ladrón, tiene cien años de perdón. There I go, appropiating shit!)
<sarcasm>Fuck, fire was invented by the Neanderthals so we are screwed!</sarcasm>
[1] It appears that spaghetti was invented in the Middle East. References: 1 [wikipedia.org] and 2 [101cookingrecipes.com]
