This doesn’t make sense to me. Why wouldn’t just the 1x programmers unionize? I’m sure they would be in the majority as 10x programmers are rare. I also do not really believe in this concept in general. Programming skills are not one dimensional, people have different strengths and weaknesses.

The 1x programmers - which is virtually all of us - all think they’re 10x programmers.

  Or we are all well paid diva who, if bored, would just switch companies without much problems nor thinking. I am unsure if being in union (as in the US type of unions) would bring a lot of wage benefits.

  My number of X's adapt to fit the possibilities and potential of the environment. Right now it's 1x. Actually that's a lie, it's my 1x effort but the company I work with is floating on cloud 10x because I know more of the requirements than they do. Still have no idea what this mythical 1x - 10x number scale maps to. Inspiration can up anyone's game.
