Maybe it's just because the post is out of date now (2011) but I'm not sure why "new technology", "rockstar" and "produces unmaintainable code" are all conflate

Maybe it's just because the post is out of date now (2011) but I'm not sure why "new technology", "rockstar" and "produces unmaintainable code" are all conflated together.
- chris_wot 13y agoBecause rockstar programmers tend to use the latest technology in bizarre ways which makes for unmaintainable code?
- StavrosK 13y agoDoes "rockstar" mean "bad" in this context? Because "using the latest technology for the sake of it" is not a trait of a good developer, and I have no clue what the hell "rockstar developer" means any more (unless they're also in a major rock band, then I know what it means).
- chris_wot 13y agoIt started out as a term of admiration, but rapidly devolved to one of derision.
