They all want rockstars at entry level pay, and they all think the rockstars won't just leave in two years, leaving the team with a half finished, undocumented mess written to fit rockstars' coding style -- not anyone else's, with half the plan still written only in said rockstar's now departed head.
I'm STILL cleaning up after a "rockstars" damn near decade old mess.
Undocumented, poorly designed, unextensible MESS due to his "refactoring" of it (because he couldn't be bothered to learn how it worked, obviously it's better if he rewrote it)
Lightning fast, where it works (he left before he finished it), but without any NEED to be lightning fast.
Ridiculous amounts of blazing fast pointer arrays (with multiple scope errors he never noticed, but I did and fixed) that can't be altered without updating a thousand other places in the code, when speed was unnecessary.
Using classes where they don't fit. NOT using them where they do.
UGH.
