It's hard to believe the whole 10x thing until you've seen it. I've been working as a software engineer for 25 years, and I worked with 1 person who was overtly ahead of everyone else by a significant, possibly 10x degree.
Actually a really humble person, would probably hate this label. Intensely focused, avid reader of tech source materials, and somewhat intuitively gravitated towards sound/simplistic solutions to problems other people had a hard time even understanding.
It's a thing.
- unreal37 4y agoI've seen it too. It's a thing. Didn't like the person and they were anti-social to a great degree. The company treated him like a diva and he was I guess. But he could go into his office, shut the door, and the next day we'd have some working component to the larger system largely coded. So you can't argue he wasn't a 10x coder. But a 0.1x communicator.
- deterministic 4y agoAgree. 30+ years of experience here. I have worked with developers that single handily made the difference between success and failure. So they are more than 10x engineers.
