"Keep tasks small" Thats the key.. Break down the task into smaller chunks and work on them with tests, then bring them into the larger codebase. Once you start ping-ponging all over the place you don't stand a chance at being 10x. "Provide a quiet work place so that programmers can focus." Thats another great one. I get a lot done some nights because its really quiet. Also, some programmers might be faster but they introduce a load of bugs and you end up playing ping-pong bug hunt. I had this outsourcing company that would fix one bug, but introduce another 1 or 2 bugs. It was really frustrating. Its like there was a lack of thought into the program flow, just hacking until it sort of works.
