This week I was confronted with two consultants (with very known background  ).
Ok, I also tend to say "we are the best", but paid consultants (paid by whom?) becomes more and more suspect for me.
I'm thinking about to start to ignore consultants which are more or less only

This is what's known the technical world as the "Hating Problem". It was the undoing of Alan Turing. Please stop the hate.

The NSA already has them and they'll be in the Library of Congress within the week.

I try it once again.
Sorry I forgot to exclude PIEBALDconsult who has helped me a lot of time.
I will never "hate" the others really, therefore hate in between "".
Thank you for mention "Alan Turing". At a first glance at wiki, I think I need to read about him more serious.
Bruno
N.B: Everybody who reads this, think how much times you use wiki. So please donate a small fare to them

Reminds me of the MCSEs from Back-In-The-Day™ when they thought the world of themselves over a dinky MS cert. The old joke was that it really stood for Must Consult Someone Experienced.

Yeah, but this is the prototype - and I've had much, much less complicated prototypes crash, burn, explode, and / or melt before now! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Is this what you are working on then?

No, I've always tried to avoid working with things that are designed to go "bang!"

Yeah, I mean I can do the same thing in Kerbal Space Program... No big deal

I have often contemplated putting a placebo thermostat in my house for my wife and kids to fiddle with. Because no matter what I do to please and make them comfortable, they always feel the need to mess with it.
I think a "smart" thermostat that could display temperatures that make my family feel happy, even if though the temperature is sitting at the programmed temperature, say 71F/(21.6C).
You get a message on your phone, saying they have cranked up the desired temp to 80F, they must really be cold, ok, temporarily raise the programmed temperature.
Now that would be "smart".

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The nest doesn't lie, but it does temporarily raise the temperature and lower it back down whenever it thinks you've stopped paying attention. Plus it guesses at when you leave the house and really lowers the temperature then.

How are the rockstar programmers different from good programmers?
On what areas should one start focusing in order to become one?

Rockstar programmers are the bane of the business; they are usually hard to handle.
I prefer having/working with good programmers.
I'd rather be phishing!

Thanks for your viewpoint.
Yeah even i feel communication gap with them, but what i want to discuss here are their qualities.
What do they do differently, and how are they so much productive using same set of tools and resources available as we use?

They're not; they're all talk.

Some may actually think about the problem instead of launching into coding ASAP.
