If people advertise that they want to hire a rockstar, then write back and ask them how their work environment supports and enables a person to produce rockstar results. If they cannot or won't articulate this in a satisfactory way, then move on. They don't really want rockstars, they just want to delay the inevitable bankruptcy and are clutching at straws.
- rrich 13y agoVery true and a good rule to follow. I've yet to see a rock star environment at a place searching for the elusive unicorn, and ping-pong tables, arcade machines and fridges stocked with craft beer do not count. It takes much more to make an environment that is conducive to the artistry required to program for hours each day.
