Couldn't disagree with this article more. What the author is saying is that to be a 10x programmer, you should be building scaffolding all day (instead of actually tackling the problem at hand and getting things done). The part about no margin for error is also ridiculous and is the type of thinking that results in aversion to risk rather than a process for dealing with errors. The reality is that there are different types of coders who are better suited for different types of tasks. When you mismatch a coder to a task they aren't well suited for, results are not great. Some are super fast but there is little regard for how it was created (great for trying out new ideas that need validation), others are more methodical and better for tricky things that need to be done right.
