The problem with the "10x engineer" topic is: what is X? How can you compare two engineers? Do you compare a junior against a senior? If you do compare two seniors, how do you make sure they are "comparable"? Perhaps they have different backgrounds (e.g., mathematician vs computer scientist) and one of them is so good at topic A, while the other is a genius at topic B. I am a 10x engineer if you compare me with my junior colleagues. I have no idea how I do compare with my senior colleagues because they are good at things I'm not and the other way around: that's what makes a good team actually. > So I think this myth is propagated by those who aren't 10x engineers and just want to give up before getting there. Who wants to be a 10x engineer?
