rockstar developer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Otherwise known as the 10x developer, the rockstar developer is part of a
|
||
|
|
mythology used as a labour intensification strategy by some unscrupulous
|
||
|
|
Sillicon Valley sweatshops. There's no actual evidence to support the
|
||
|
|
notion that some developers are innately and universally ten times better
|
||
|
|
than average. Instead, some have more knowledge and/or experience in
|
||
|
|
certain domains of computing and so can grind out code faster if they're
|
||
|
|
already fluent in a specialised domain. Put a "10x" developer onto a task
|
||
|
|
which they have no prior knowledge or experience of and they'll be not
|
||
|
|
much different from average.
