"considering how much of a value add, it is just to have his name for whatever company he was working for."
Unless he's working for a javascript tool builder, why does his name add any extra value to the company?
- throwaway2016a 8y agoI kind of see the point. To an extent. The name adds some cache when hiring. Some of our top talent came to our company solely to work on my team. It also gets you exposure at conferences and events. A good enough recognized name will sometimes even allow you to raise more money even if they are not in management.

For the company that I worked at, employing a published author was a method to seal deals for the sales team. Basically created the impression that we were experts at DevOps (we weren't.)
