Being a 10x, or aspiring to be such a thing, is a bit odd. You should strive to improve the output of others. Being a .5x developer, but giving everyone on you

Being a 10x, or aspiring to be such a thing, is a bit odd. You should strive to improve the output of others.
Being a .5x developer, but giving everyone on your team a small multiplier on impactful work is far more valuable than prolific output. In fact we call these people “Director of Engineering” or maybe “Principal Software Engineer” etc.
- chucknthem 4y agoThe few "10x developers" I've had the privilege of working with are also multipliers of other people. They can learn, debug and build things maybe 3x-5x as fast as a good developer, but give them 2-10 good developers, they can help each of them solve problems 2x as fast or build frameworks that let them be 2x as productive and that's how they get another 10x.
