I am always concerned when I hear a developer self-identifying as a "10x developer" - you may well be right, but it smacks of arrogance as well.
Likewise, being intentionally condescending is an unusual approach to take at any time - even to the "anonymous internet". No-one likes to be condescended to (by definition) and so if you're attempting to promote your company and opinions I'd advise you to reconsider your tone.
- Aaronontheweb 14y agoI'm not the best developer in the world and probably won't be, but I'll freely admit that I'm excellent when it comes to productivity and iteration speed. There's nothing "arrogant" about believing that you're good at something, particularly after spending many many years believing that you weren't and working really hard to improve. And there are many things I still do wrong and I'm working on improving those too. Most of the feedback I've received on the article has been overwhelmingly positive, which leads me to believe that it's a small population of sensitive people who take issue with the tone.
