As I read that, I thought of all the developers I've worked with, and as a composite character, I have worked with a rock star! I can name a developer for every characteristic.<p>Even the guy who wore black leather pants <i>every</i> <i>single</i> <i>day</i>.... I don't fault him for it, he looked good in them, but that's some commitment in the summer.<p>Since HR and managerial types sometimes can be prone to confuse attitude for competency, maybe they really are looking for a "rock star"?!
