I don't know that I can recommend being a legendary developer. If you call my references (the ones who will agree in the first place), you will hear "one of the smartest people I have ever met" and "truly a rockstar developer" but when asked if they would hire me again, "hell no." I don't every try to be an asshole, but apparently I sometimes come across as one and if I don't get the autonomy I need I guess I become I real pain in the ass. There's many things that make a great developer and lots of wildcard situations which can paint every good thing you did in two years in a bad light is what I have discovered.
