Everyday I see Hacker News job postings, are they successful? Usually they are looking for the "Senior Rock Star Developers", or they are offering crazy benefits. I also notice some of the same companies reposting pretty often. Does that mean these companies are having trouble keeping people as employees, or they are just expanding that fast? I'm a pretty new developer, 1 1/2 years of professional experience at the same company. I have no plans of leaving my current company, but I just wonder what exactly a "Rock Star developer" is?
