If you are a truly a 10X developer(TM pending) and this is not one of those copy-paste kids love these days, you could found your own company or consulting agency.With the huge competitive advantage you have (probably unique in the world ) : a 10-men-strength worth development capability that only have to maintain 1 family. If mere mortals have founded companies solo or in pairs, imagine what you could do with 5-10X the productivity and brain power.
- pawelmurias 4y agoA 10x difference in productivity between super efficient developers and shitty ones isn't as rare as you think.
- UmbertoNoEco 4y agoProbably, who knows? But a "shitty" developer is not "1X"
- jv22222 4y agoIt doesn't really matter how good or fast you are at developing, starting a company is a whole different ball game. The overhead of winning and retaining clients will very quickly ruin any 10x advantage you have. Side note: Judging from the story points it looks like this is a 23x developer not 10x ;)
- mberning 4y agoThe fact that they haven’t realized story points are like the score in “who’s line is it anyway” is a major red flag that they probably are not a 10x developer. Such a person would surely have ascertained the reality of the situation. The truth is that this person probably is above average in some aspects, but has a gross deficit in understanding the more nuanced aspects of the software business.
- leaflets2 4y agoThe story point was just an example, not the main point. OP is aware about what your wrote and didn't mean it in the silly way you assumed.
