To all those that are looking for rockstar programmers

I am a pretty good software guy but I don't think I ever felt right about the whole rockstar label. I didn't feel that I was better than a rockstar but just different. Ron Evans gets it right by coining this new term: "Jazz programmer". A little cheesy but I like it.

I'm not saying one is better than the other. You probably need both in your team. I would like to take this concept further and check if my team is a rock-band or a Jazz ensemble.
