If you’re a 10x engineer, work at 33% capacity and then advertise like you’re trying very hard. That way when you are in a crunch it looks like you’re putting in superhuman levels of effort but really you’re just working 80%. If you don’t do this then people who don’t understand your work will underrate you.
