There is such a thing as a 10x developer. I've worked with them.
They're "10x" because they have mastered a set a tools end-to-end that they use over and over again to achieve their goals. Examples:
* Does it need a client-side website? Bootstrap + jQuery
* Does it need a server-side application? Python + Django
* Does it need data persistence? PostgreSQL + Redis
* Does it need asynchronous tasks? Python + Celery
* Does it need a web server? nginx
* Does it need infrastructure? AWS + Terraform
* Does it need to scale? Yes.
* Does it need ? (you name it)
Add that all up and the people that can deliver those apps/features are extremely rare. Those are the 10x developers.
And I'm not even talking about just using those components. I'm talking about using them expertly. Highly optimized.
- xupybd 4y agoIf you only need persistence why use Redis and Postgres. Postgres would talk care of the persistence? Not a dig I'm just trying to understand the use case. I thought Redis was only used for high speed queues?
