With the exceptions being one-man projects, where a Rockstar can accomplish amazing things when left alone. e.g. Git, Linux Kernel, Doom's Engine, Notepad++, WinRAR, etc., etc.
Calling programmers "the worst" just because they decided to use the Rockstar programming language seems disrespectful. I know the language spec was created during a single evening, but JavaScript was also made very quickly and now is .... a bad example for what I'm trying to say here.
Here's how you become a rockstar programmer. Learn Dylan Beattie's Rockstar programming language. Well done programs are quines for 1980's metal power ballads. Here's a few iterations of Hello World: Say "Hello World." Whisper "Hello World." Shout "Hello World."
I bet that if you would have a team made up of only rockstar programmers that were also from Vulcan, they'd be exactly what companies want and would perform better than any humans could. If only we could embrace logic instead of ego.
Hmmmm....there are two types of "worst"...the Rockstar without humility and the copy/paste. There are far more of the latter and they do far more damage.
Copy/paste is superfast and sometimes it fits. I remember the rewrite of a system where one developer had worked on the old system. He knew, when using and adapting the old code made sense and he usually did a good job. He sort of saved the good and fitting parts of the old system.

Speaker Name is great!

Fixed. Thanks for pointing this out.

Finally, I can pride myself on being a mediocre developer.
Great video!

I first thought he was talking about the gaming studio!
The clickbait title doesn't reflect the opinion during the video.
Click bait, but I liked the video regardless
