And they're looking for rockstar developers!

  What does this add to the conversation?

    It's an entirely appropriate chastisement for their tacky, cliched, and rather lame corporate communication.

    It's in reference to the YC job ad at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4332117 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4332117 posted an hour ago (after the AllThingsD article was submitted). The first paragraph claims that they "can't go into too many details about the exact features of [their] software". EDIT: This might have been an old job ad that was reposted, as it claims the company has 8 employees, while AllThingsD states they now have 55.

    On the front page, this article is directly above "FiveStars (YC W11) looking for software developers". Here's a screenshot for posterity: http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~tikhon/img/fivestarRockstars.png http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~tikhon/img/fivestarRockstars....

      There's no reference to "rockstar" in that ad. They seem to have set a somewhat high bar, but I can't see how that equates to looking for "rockstars".

        They edited the title.

  I was going to apply but I'm a ninja, not a rockstar. :(
