i always thought that rockstars are smart, driven people who were able to achieve substantial results because of favorable circumstances.
The term itself is laughable at best, especially when self proclaimed!
- aurelianito 14y agoI thought the same until I actually worked with one. This guy can build things in a week that a group of 5 competent programmers will do in a month.
- bmj 14y agoBut, as `sybhn said, did that guy call himself a rock star? My manager is very similar--his mind works about twice as fast as mine, and he's very productive. He'd never, ever call himself a "rock star" though.
- aurelianito 14y agoHe will not call himself a rockstar but he is quite aware of his skill.

- aurelianito 14y agoNop. He is one of the company founders and he is probably getting a lot of money out of his job.
