Aaah, the rockstar developer. The asshole feared by all sysadmin department. The fucker that pushes untested shit to production on Friday afternoon before disappearing off the grid. The son of a bitch that, while everyone is scrambling to restore production to be stable in between Friday and Saturday morning, is enjoying is life? The one that everyone knows would have been better if his mother swallowed that night, that on Monday morning is surprised and enraged that all his accounts are locked out?
That rockstar developer?
Sorry, got some issues with that living stain of shit.
Why don’t you tell us how you really feel.
I can see you’re not ready to talk about this.
I’m currently in the “Elvis getting fat” phase.
Stay away from toilets!
That’s one of the most impractical pieces of advice I’ve ever read.
Just don’t push too hard.
You’ve clearly never had the transcendent experience of shitting in the woods. Or behind a dumpster at the Circle K.
I’ve tried the former and didn’t exactly find it transcendent. Wouldn’t recommend it tbh.
As for the Circle K dumpster, isn’t that what it’s there for? 😛
He forgot to groom underage fans
No, it just takes longer.
ngl, thought you guys meant rockstar as in the company, which would still apply lol
Or just learn the rockstar language! You can always be a rockstar developer https://codewithrockstar.com/
What was in that syringe and who had had it on themselves?

Is this referring to something?
Some devs consider themselves rockstars or 10x devs, people who are just more talented at computer development. Yes, I’ve heard both those terms both from people referring to themselves and from management saying someone is talented.
This attitude leads to deploying code that is unsafe/breaks conventions (I know better), untested (it’ll work!), poorly documented (It’s obvious! If you don’t know what it does, maybe you shouldn’t be touching it), and generally causes problems for everyone around them.
These people typically end up owning product by themselves, which to management can look like they’re doing the work of a whole team, and a form of containment for anyone who has had to work with them.
The comic is just so specific I feel like it has to be talking about someone specific.
