In my opinion what makes a 10x developer are things that are (ironically) not quantitative.
It's the wisdom and experience to keep yourself from going down the wrong track. Not progressing down the same track faster or better.
For example, the humility, if nothing else, that would prevent you from taking seriously an instinct that you could replicate a huge business so casually. That's more valuable than any technical skill.
- TimTheTinker 8y agoI understand what you're saying, but in my experience it's great to have both kinds of people on a team -- those who are extremely prolific in their output and those who focus on wisdom, product decisions, and the wider context. Seriously, working alongside a true "10x" developer is simultaneously humbling and astounding. The sheer quantity of quality output is beyond anything I ever thought possible (speaking as a senior developer myself).
