The 10x engineer exists. What do they do differently? They have 10 times the average impact on the organization around them.
We got over measuring lines of code a long time ago. We should measure impact on the people around you and the culture you create.
This list looks a lot like 10x stuff to me.
- a3n 7y agoWhat is the unit of "impact?" What is the unit of "impact x time?" How many units does an average engineer ... emit? I presume a 10x engineer will emit 10 times those units?
- drewcoo 7y agoThe unit is the x. Please don't try to understand and measure it like an engineer. This is software.
- stallmanite 7y agoA very similar unit to ‘G’ used to measure how badass a mobile network is. eg AT&T’s 5G service
- brodsky 7y agothat must be why the 'x' key is worn out?
- Ballas 7y agoThe only real 10x engineers I have met are people that motivate others to work much more efficiently. I know many ~4x engineers, and a lot more 0.4x engineers. A 10x engineer is somebody that can make a 0.4x engineer perform like a 0.9x engineer.
