Friends of mine worked at a place were they got a rock star programmer that churned out thousands of lines of code a week. And they eventually found themselves relegated to the role of cleaning up the mess. So they all quit.

Edit: Take rock stars 3000 lines of code a week and divide by one rock star + six experienced developers now doing nothing but bug fixes and it doesn't seem so super.
