What does this add to the conversation?

It's in reference to the YC job ad at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4332117 posted an hour ago (after the AllThingsD article was submitted). The first paragraph claims that they "can't go into too many details about the exact features of [their] software".

EDIT: This might have been an old job ad that was reposted, as it claims the company has 8 employees, while AllThingsD states they now have 55.

It's an entirely appropriate chastisement for their tacky, cliched, and rather lame corporate communication.
On the front page, this article is directly above "FiveStars (YC W11) looking for software developers". Here's a screenshot for posterity: http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~tikhon/img/fivestarRockstars....

It leads to this job ad: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4332117

There's no reference to "rockstar" in that ad. They seem to have set a somewhat high bar, but I can't see how that equates to looking for "rockstars".
Look at the screenshot.
They edited the title.
I see. Thanks.
