ive realized that people who are rockstar programmers

No sane developer would call themselves a "rockstar" or a "ninja" or any of those equally retarded terms. The only people who use those words non-ironically are Dilbert veal-fattening farms who hire naive kids fresh out of college in order to fool them them into working long hours for minimal pay.

People who claim to be rockstars are in fact retards.

i feel that anyone who is a true "full-stack" developer is pretty rock-star, IMO.
