Can we stop the self hate already? There definitely are 10x musicians, 10x painters, sportsmen and 10x programmers. You know what never exists in 10x form? Burocrats and middle managers who write articles like this one.
I suggest to flag this as fake news and all future articles intended to devalue young talented programmers who yet are to discover their true market value.
- michaelbuckbee 7y agoNot trying to be a jerk, but I think you might need to re-read the article as the author is clearly a developer themselves and thinks that there are definitely 10x developers (just that they can't be found with a simple coding test).
- Bnshsysjab 7y agoI would like to think I’m one of them, I’d flail about in attempt to solve some random programmer test, but I’m also the guy that sits back and says ‘hey how about we rethink this i n s a n e architecture?’
- teddyh 7y agoI think you missed the double negative in the title.
- kylec 7y agoI'll bet 10x managers do exist, but they quickly become VPs or CEOs
- lordofgibbons 7y agoBy that reasoning, for all practical purposes, they don't really exist. They were already rare to begin with but then they also move up the ranks quickly. One could argue VPs and CEOs technically have people reporting to them, but managing people isn't really their job. They are mostly concerned with strategy.
