Being a developer I've worked closely with lots of other developers, and been on both sides of this equation; Sometimes I'm the 'normal guy' and sometimes I'm the 'rock star' depending who I'm sitting with. As the 'normal guy' I observe what tools they are using, how they navigate them and what they are doing, because often times we both know the language equally or close to equal yet have a different selection in tools to aid the development process either 'go to' libraries or editors. As the 'rock star' I may interrupt the developer to show them a faster way to do the same thing, either algorithm or editor functions. Because face it, the only thing that makes you a rock star is that you can get it done faster and more efficient then the other guy.
