A 10x engineer is an engineer who understands when not to over engineer. Martin Fowler cultists ain't it. It’s the dudes and dudettes that can have a chat about things without ceremony. You know, the people that built the stuff that facilitated the growth that financed the party that just ended. They are out there but have been pushed aside by those who cant work without a scrum master changing their nappies and cry for meetings at the first sign of blockage because they couldnt be bothered to read a line of code on their own, cant touch a database because they are not database developers, or cant manage a server because they dont do “devops”. In other words 10x engineers are not ABET types that behave as if they were operating an assembly line - they are the factory themselves.
