Agree with most of this. > 1. I still don’t know very much Same here, Im still realising how much I dont know. > The 10x programmer is a silly myth. Yes it is. It's a stupid harmful myth. Everyone on HN and Reddit think they are the "10xers", and its used as an excuse to be rude and insufferable. Some time ago, I decided I'd be happy being a 1x programmer[1] > Don’t mistake humility for ignorance Very true. Some of the best engineers I worked with, those who would never get job at these 10x companies, were quiet and reserved. But when you actually talked to them, you realised it was humility and a willingness to learn. > Interviews are almost worthless for telling how good of a team member someone will be Yes, interviews are just a form of hazing. The survivors are those who can stand the hazing, not the best programmers 1. https://new.pythonforengineers.com/blog/confessions-of-a-1x-programmer/ https://new.pythonforengineers.com/blog/confessions-of-a-1x-...
