I've worked with a 10x coder and he does everything moe mentioned above, even including hardware. He is disdainful of those who program, but can't maintain their own systems. One guy is not much of a sample, but many times I've seen him find solutions in hardware, OS settings, network configuration, etc. that you would never have found if you focused only on your application.

- habibur 18y ago> who happens to take a fancy to asm, security, arch, and abstracted programming languages. ...that means you are a 10x coder but would not like to claim yourself though.
- alnayyir 18y agoI'd never entertain the notion that I am equal to a great many of my programming fellows, I learn something new everyday from the people I talk to...let alone 10x better. It's just absurd, I'm an over-diversified generalist, I'm better than no one at anything.
