1. A rockstar comes in, dumps mindblowing code everywhere that dazzles the rest of the team and fools the product leads with pseudo-productivity until the rockstar leaves or finally wakes up. Cue the rest of the team death-marching for the next year or few years as the team attempts to juggle feature additions with excising or unraveling the impenetrable yarn-tangle of semantic misdirection.
