what do they mean by “rockstart devs”? do they mean the people behind GTA?
The article itself gives a prtty good description. It’s a fairly common term, popularized over a decade ago, during the big tech startup boom, for a super-high-productivity developer. Someone who is just awesome at everything they do and can do everything, and do it all super quickly. I.E. a myth.
Well, it’s not a myth at the ‘do it super quickly’, usually it also meant that a prototype would then need a lot of polishing and that was even before LLMs ‘helped’
Sure. The myth is that you can the “awesome at everything” and “do it all super quickly” bits together at the same time.
I think they are referring to what they currently call full stack devs, which back around 2007-2009 they called them rockstar devs. It is stupid.
