We've all worked with a rockstar developer. They joined the team years ago, full of energy. They had great ideas about new tech, new paradigms, new architectures. Their cutting-edge ideas left everyone else feeling a bit behind and outdated.
Yeah sure if you say so. I guess you could have a front end dev who was a rockstar, but usually it implied you could handle anything and work on any team.
I think they are referring to what they currently call full stack devs, which back around 2007-2009 they called them rockstar devs. It is stupid.
No, full-stack and rockstar were different.

No. It’s a reference to super productive devs. The 10x devs. You can have unproductive full-stack developers and rockstar back end devs.
