>> That way, it's not a "me vs them" dynamic. Yes - definitely helps in scenarios where an engineer starts talking directly to a product manager/non technical management and starts accepting feature requests and cranks them out with little thought about the long term supportability of their code by the rest of the team (and perhaps builds in a little extra job security intentionally or unintentionally via code obfuscation) and is reward by looking like a 10x engineer to the non-technical side of the company. Rows of red next to their name will organically slow the engineer down and encourages less code that feels like "job security through obfuscation/abstraction" and long term will guide them toward soliciting more feedback from the team early on in the design cycle to ensure their code is grok-able enough to get green marks. Then they can truly by identified as a legit 10x'er.
