I try it once again.
Sorry I forgot to exclude PIEBALDconsult who has helped me a lot of time.
I will never "hate" the others really, therefore hate in between "".
Thank you for mention "Alan Turing". At a first glance at wiki, I think I need to read about him more serious.

N.B: Everybody who reads this, think how much times you use wiki. So please donate a small fare to them

Reminds me of the MCSEs from Back-In-The-Day™ when they thought the world of themselves over a dinky MS cert. The old joke was that it really stood for Must Consult Someone Experienced.

Yeah, but this is the prototype - and I've had much, much less complicated prototypes crash, burn, explode, and / or melt before now!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Is this what you are working on then?

No, I've always tried to avoid working with things that are designed to go "bang!"

Yeah, I mean I can do the same thing in Kerbal Space Program... No big deal

I have often contemplated putting a placebo thermostat in my house for my wife and kids to fiddle with. Because no matter what I do to please and make them comfortable, they always feel the need to mess with it.
I think a "smart" thermostat that could display temperatures that make my family feel happy, even if though the temperature is sitting at the programmed temperature, say 71F/(21.6C).
You get a message on your phone, saying they have cranked up the desired temp to 80F, they must really be cold, ok, temporarily raise the programmed temperature.
Now that would be "smart".

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The nest doesn't lie, but it does temporarily raise the temperature and lower it back down whenever it thinks you've stopped paying attention. Plus it guesses at when you leave the house and really lowers the temperature then.

How are the rockstar programmers different from good programmers?
On what areas should one start focusing in order to become one?

Rockstar programmers are the bane of the business; they are usually hard to handle.
I prefer having/working with good programmers.
I'd rather be phishing!

Thanks for your viewpoint.
Yeah even i feel communication gap with them, but what i want to discuss here are their qualities.
What do they do differently, and how are they so much productive using same set of tools and resources available as we use?

Some may actually think about the problem instead of launching into coding ASAP.

It's the attitude.
A rockstar programmer is someone who knows how to code. He probably knows all the latest and greatest tools and he likes to brag about it. There is no I in team, but apparently rockstar programmers can't spell.
A good programmer is someone who can work in a team and who knows how to write decent and maintainable code using the tools that the entire team is comfortable with.
A great programmer is a programmer who, in addition to being a good programmer, can make decisions that help the team and push a project forward. Or is that a manager?
And it depends on the company where you work. Some companies value employee input, others don't (I prefer to work at the first kind of company!).
Just try your best, but don't forget about the team.

I think we have similar thoughts on this.
I also believe that it is about your attitude or something very fundamental in your personality.
That you have it in you or you don't. No questions about it.
And yes definitions do vary with domains. Like web rockstar developer may have completely different traits as compared to linux rockstar developer.

great programmers have awesome monikers
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Thank you for this opportunity to shamelessly plug this blog entry I posted a few months ago:
From Good to Great[^]
To summarize:
A Good Engineer has:
- Intelligence
- Intuition
- Passion
A Great Engineer has the good engineer traits, mostly, as well as:
- Great Communicator
- Motivator
- Approachable
A Great Engineer helps all of your other engineers rise to become Good Engineers and fosters a team environment that works well together.
