I've had the pleasure of working with two 10x engineers. One of them is a problem-solving and execution machine. I could understand what he did, and I think that I could have done the same, only taking 10x longer.
The other one... the other one isn't just a "faster me". His brain works on a qualitatively different way than mine. I probably couldn't have come up with the things he came up with, even with 10x or 100x more time.
These guys are also incredibly humble and nice, and hilariously funny. Fantastic humans all around. Stu, Matt, I miss you guys!
