Yeah, I said "rock stars", but I really just meant programmers who are more than 1x, either because they are just crazy good or more often because they amplify the abilities of the team by being excellent library writers and support for other devs. A close friend of mine is one of the crazy good types, both skillful and fast. I'm a good programmer with a solid theoretical background, but I try to be much more in the second category of providing good support, because I'm just never going to be that fast. Sure, I can find a bug and get a patch out quickly, but I take forever to develop good, strong abstractions and libraries. But when I'm done, they'll be well-made.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
But I like that FogBugz has the estimation process incorporated. Maybe we should have adopted it instead of JIRA.
