Yeah. I don't think that kind of "rockstar" coder typically benefits a company in the long run.
There are the true, true, true outliers: the Linus Torvalds and the John Carmacks, who truly solve problems that others can't.
But then there are people who write a bunch of blog posts, make some kind of name for themselves, show up and crap out a bunch of code, impressing management, etc. I don't think they are good at building systems. They make messes others need to clean up while they've already moved on to making their next mess.
