Wait... "Most" 1x engineers? "Most" in any profession will be average. Which is completely normal and fine. This kind of reply is just flipping the stereotype

This kind of reply is just flipping the stereotype and going in another insane extreme without any evidence at all, just conflating productivity with recklessness...
- Izkata 2y agoTheir very next line also used "Most 10x engineers". Neither of those are talking about "most" in the profession, it's "most" in the subgroup. Average in the profession will be somewhere in between.
- whstl 2y agoAre you really sure? If 1x is the absolute rock-bottom lowest possible productivity, are them really the precious angels who care deeply about the user while making amazing code? This is even more absurd.
- Izkata 2y ago> If 1x is the absolute rock-bottom lowest possible productivity You understand the original meaning of the term. This is not how most people use it nowadays.
- whstl 2y agoNo, I don’t. You’re reading too much into my post. I haven’t made any judgement of whether 1x means average or rock bottom, because it doesn’t matter. The assertion made by GP is absurd regardless of the definition, period.
