The irony here is that the point of the article isn’t that “10x engineers” do/don’t exist, it’s that “things are more complicated than that”. Assigning arbitrary labels (like 10x engineers…) so it’s “easy to understand” results in over simplified models that lead to faulty decision making based on invalid assumptions. …treating everyone equal is perhaps also a faulty assumption, but it’s easy, and dealing with complex systems is hard. Maybe instead of bitching about equality, which is just a symptom, we should promote using complex models instead of easy trivial ones. …because just using different easy trivial modes is stupid; it won’t get you any better outcomes.
