It notes that rock stars can be distracting and cause drama, that they often produce "one hit wonders" and move on, and that their large egos can be problematic. The document suggests companies are better off without rock stars and should instead focus on reliable programmers who can solve problems without all the issues that come with rock star status. It closes by saying companies are better off without rock stars.
