Who? I have never heard of Rogue Wave Software.
::sigh:: Kids these days. Rogue Wave is ancient by technology standards. They wrote a C++ library that everyone used in the early nineties.
They seem to be mainly code metric gathering and static analysis software developers.
"...underscoring our goal to make developers heroes..."

Ugh.

I personally prefer higher pay than any valor. To make developers better compensated would have been more endearing.
Gotta qualify as a rockstar and/or ninja first.
Will getting drunk and smashing an axe in the head of a manager suffice? Depending if I am going for the rock star or ninja - the type of axe may differ. But the results will be satisfying all the same.
Yeah, all this "more awesome" marketing parlance is out of control.
