I just hope people don't fall into the trap of believing every 10x engineer is just a symptom of dysfunction.
There are some truly remarkable people in this line of work and there exist 10x engineers that are just extremely smart, extremely hardworking, and it doesn't come at the expense of others. You'll recognize it when you see it -- if you're lucky enough. I feel blessed to have run into 10x people, because I really needed to be humbled. You have to work hard.
- sibeliuss 6y agoAbsolutely. This article was annoying because I've worked with real 10x devs a number of times over my career. And one of them only worked 4 days a week and kept the computer closed on weekends! She was remarkable, and easily more productive than anyone else, at least by a factor of 10. She also wrote the best tests.
