最近在幾篇文章裡看到了Rockstar Developer這個字眼（似乎有點LAG了），如果要翻的話就是『搖滾開發人員』這樣？ 就我的認知，指的可能是在技術社群內很活躍的名人；在一個團隊內類似『技術總監』的角色；或是簡單的說，就是你很崇拜的那種程式人員。

來看看別人怎麼看這種人XD （以下加一點個人嘴砲）

十大特質

出處：Top 10 Traits of a Rockstar Software Engineer By Alex Iskold

1. Loves To Code
   – 這不用說了，要有freak-out的精神！
2. Gets Things Done
   – 這需要一定的毅力，如《人月神話》所說：滿足了我們潛藏於內心創造事物的渴望；但專案時程和過程中的種種瓶頸可是很難熬的。另外最近scrum等等agile methodology也是很熱的議題，對尋找最佳實務提供很多的創新解法。
3. Continuously Refactors Code
   – 看了幾本書之後就很HIGH的去改以前的code
4. Uses Design Patterns
   – NPC表示：去找在那屋子裡的GoF先知吧(?)
5. Writes Tests
   – 要寫得夠廣，也要考慮以後方便做regression test。目標是coverage 100%
6. Leverages Existing Code
   – Apache Commons之類的，做之前先google準沒錯
7. Focuses on Usability
   – 與其被嫌了之後還要改，不如(ry
8. Writes Maintainable Code
   – 架構要設計得好，還是要先去看Design Patterns
9. Can Code in Any Language
   – 更廣義的說應該是快速pickup的能力?
10. Knows Basic Computer Science
    – 囧 快忘光了
