Fearlessness of being controversial could indeed be a good charactistic of both a rockstar and a programmer who wants to make a difference.
Yet, I can't image that's the quality a company is looking for when they search for a rockstar programmer. And if they do, I can't image that's what they will get.
Being egomanic and making a difference for the better is hardly the same.
