    I went through dozens and when I found one I could trust I treated them like kings.

The second reality is there is no such thing as mediocre anymore so long as they use AI to code. This is precisely my point, the marginal advantage of a 10x engineer and a team of 20 + to build something awesome is now cut in 1/2, soon probably 1/4.
