I thought this term only existed with terrible recruiters.

I cant imagine how cringe it would be to have an environment with a proclaimed "rockstar".

I think you're right Chris, but I think the problem exists without the term outside of recruiting.

It doesn't have to be "cringe" to have some "rockstar" devs around, I think it comes down to managing them well, and hopefully turning them into mentors, instead of pitting them against other devs that aren't as experienced.
