Clearly, only superstar hackers are skilled enough to add features to FogzBugz.

  Even if anyone could add features to FogBugz, not everyone can do it in a way that leaves the codebase clean enough afterwards. It doesn't take much inherent difficulty or complexity for a project to become a total mess in a year or two if left in the hands of incompetent programmers.

    "Superstar" is a word that should be reserved for a select few. For example, the hackers who built the Google search engine are superstars. I somehow doubt people of such caliber send their resumes to Fog Creek Software seeking opportunities to maintain aging enterprise bug tracking software. This article reads to me like a thinly veiled recruitment effort. "Work for me and I'll appreciate your contribution, only ask you to work 40 hours a week, and even call you 'superstar'!" I'd rather start a startup.

  Yes, it takes brains to use Wasabi, a language that's probably roughly as powerful as the next release of Visual Basic.
