Anjali announced earlier this week that she’d just created a crowdsourcing wiki. She’s too modest to tell everyone how successful it’s been, so I’m doing that now. It has turned out to be an incredibly useful resource – so useful in fact that with no promotion, media or blog coverage it hit the front page of Delicious, from where it was picked up by ReadWriteWeb.
I’ve noticed clients recoil at the phrase “Rockstar Developers”. The image of a drink, drugs and – gulp – sex-crazed development team smashing up their dressing room is problematic for many reasons. I kind of recoil from it too. It’s yucky. Nevertheless, ReadWriteWeb has published a list of the ‘Top Ten Traits of the Rockstar Software Engineer‘. It makes fascinating reading, especially if you work closely with one. The official list goes up to 10, but I’ve added a few of my own, and shuffled. See if you can guess which ones are true. Please feel free to suggest some yourself.
