No such thing as 10x programmers etc. What a strange straw man that I can't connect to reality What I've seen (on this site, on twitter, and on reddit) over those years was a reckoning that 10x employees aren't often worth the bullshit - their toxicity, that they may make others around them more than 10x UN-productive, and that our industry may have had a habit of treating these 10xers with kid gloves not caring the path of destruction they left of (and especially) female engineers. Yes, I did see the occasional blog or tweet thread from some claiming that they didn't exist at all, but it was always immediately challenged because the concept is ridiculous. We've all worked with at least one 10xer (and by the way most of them WEREN'T toxic, but actually incredible, helpful, and generous).
