10x is real, and the way it is achieved is by making a key insight which results in requiring only 10% of the work to be done to get the required results. The actual work then gets done at the normal 1x rate.
This of course is impossible at companies which don't allow the flexibility for these people to stretch their wings. A big part of increasing a company's productivity is giving everyone the possibility to do this so you can uncover those hidden 10x-ers and put them in architectural roles.
- lucio 8y agoSometimes is just making the mental work 10 times faster, e.g. evaluating the possibility space 10 times faster. There are people with brains running at 1 GHz and also people with brains running at 100 MHz. Although, having a faster brain is not good "per se"
- snovv_crash 8y agoI'm not convinced that churning out the same solution 10x faster than average is possible. 3x yes. But the 10x comes from doing less work to achieve the same results.
- lucio 8y agoif by "work" you mean writing code, that's a small part of what I'm referring to. 10x faster is the speed at which the possibility space is scanned.
