10x programmers are like living reference books
They Know Their Shit. They won't remember details necessarily off their head but they don't need to look up notes.
When you talk to them, it's like they just pulled up the Complete Lego Block Reference in their head and are snapping the pieces together. They can't tell you the exact size of a piece but they have a hunch that some piece A probably exists that probably snaps to a B piece to deliver what you need.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoI think it’s more than being a reference book, but really understanding at an intuitive level how things work and being able to explain it. They are facile with the concepts to such a degree they don’t have to think about how things fit together to use a system and language and sdlc, they are able to just focus on the specific challenge. Further they can unblock everyone around them by providing that intuition on demand, and often explaining concepts others struggle with in a way that gives them a similar intuition.
