This is such an important part of the 10x programmer formula. It’s no mark against their talent or skill, but the environment and team is largely the deciding factor on developer productivity.
I’ve been a 10x developer and a 1x developer on different teams. Ive found it really depends on the environment and my peers.
- zen_of_prog 4y agoDefinitely. I'd like to better understand the extent to which environment is a factor. The author mentions that too: > Give a group of passionate people complete ownership over designing, building, and delivering a piece of software (or anything really) and amazing things will happen. Coincidentally, today I was listening to "Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman". He talks about almost 10xing a team after telling them about the formerly secret projet that they had been working on.
