Well depends on the definition. 10x engineers in my book, ensure that the system is maintainable, simple enough for the problem, well thought and readable.
Consequences also can be extremely subjective. I have the experience of a single team architecting/coding the core of the system to ensure nobody ever adds any kind of concurrency because "it's hard to reason with and we want nobody to spawn threads." Let us say the networking layer teams were not excited about this. Who is right and who is wrong: both teams had "consequences" to deal with.
- TeeMassive 5y agoI guess I was unlucky. The last two places I've worked with, taking shortcuts were the best way to get promoted. The rest of the team weren't '10x' because they spent most of their time cleaning up the mess.
- eftychis 5y agoOh no, I unfortunately agree. Taking shortcuts and politics in a lot of companies is the way to the top. I guess my bubble has a more idealistic '10x'er definition @TeeMassive.
