How many 10x developers work inside Silicon Valley vs outside Silicon Valley?
- adrenalinelol 10y agoHow does one determine a 10x vs a non 10x (outside of anecdotes)?
- rubyfan 10y agoAnecdotes.
- mwfunk 10y agoYou don't. Just wait a minute, and they'll tell you (hopefully before a hiring decision is made). :)
- kevin_thibedeau 10y agoWow! You really know what you're talking about. How many zeroes do I put on the end of the check again?
- Joof 10y ago10x the zeroes. 000000000.00
- mark-r 10y agoIf you're lucky, you get to work closely with one. My boss is one such, he spends 50% of his time on managerial duties and still manages to outcode me, and I'm no slouch myself.
- WWLink 10y agoAsk one of those people on here that brags about rejecting 95% of their applicants while using questions ripped straight out of "Cracking the Coding Interview" or something lol.
- flukus 10y agoZero in and zero out.
- sidlls 10y agoControversial statement: the number of actual, honest-to-god "10x developers" that exist in specific, narrow domains or contexts is so small that using them as a standard of comparison in any context (including their domains) is complete nonsense, and the number relative to the entire population of developers is so small that one can do just spectacularly well acting as if such a creature doesn't even exist.
