Thinking back to the 10x developer discussions from a few days ago, the OP seems like an exemplar of one of the stereotypes (not necessarily bad or wrong): Very fast, very quickly frustrated, potentially not great at communication/politics. The speed at which he puts things out just seems like a different planet to me. I've always been valued by my employers in concrete ways, so I'm pretty sure that I'm not a 0.1x developer, but both my skills and ambitions appear to be quite a bit more modest. That said, I was the only one keeping two teammates (one quite like the OP) from strangling each other, despite not being in a formal leadership role, so that's worth something. Anyway, it's fascinating to read something by someone with such a different brain.
