Sure, but it could still be used as a wifi-only device. I have an old iPhone 8 that I keep around for music and streaming to a TV.

I was using a 2011 12" MacBook Air until recently, for work, music making and personal usage. Only traded for an M1 because thought it was cool. If anything it's 3rd party dev stuff that requires bleeding edge machines (eg: Docker

My company is hybrid, but coming to the office is entirely optional. Enough people naturally started coming back once in a while. The way they convinced us that it won’t change on a C-Level’s whim is by drastically reducing the office size

Not only you misquoted me trying to prove a fallacious point, but you also took a small comment that I originally wrote and basically started accusing some of my co-workers of gaming story points. You were even downvoted for that. Also from

That's my post and I didn't complain about UE5, nor said that Casey Muratori did. Let alone saying that UE5 performance is crap. Also, please read to this part of my comment if you want to understand the situation: > Casey Mur

I disagree with that, it really isn't "normal" to have someone like that, but it does definitely happen. Doing a crap PR once in a while is absolutely normal for everyone, but doing that regularly isn't. This is clearly

Yeah, this is similar to the "10x, but they work twice as many hours a week". It's not someone who's more productive, it's just someone who manages to be more productive by making everyone less.

I find these stereotypes very reductive, and having a bit of prejudice. Being unproductive is not a guarantee of having good communication skills, and likewise being being highly-productive is not a guarantee of being bad at communication.

by ratww 5y ago
That's not really a 10x if they're doing a crappy job. I can close hundreds of bug tickets saying "not reproducible" without really trying, but that doesn't mean I was productive.

by ratww 5y ago
> 10x is a really bad term, it tries to quantify a difference without a baseline. I believe this is incorrect. The baseline (or 1x) is the lowest-performing member of the team. At least that's how I learned the term.

It is an interesting observation when put side by side with the sibling post [0]. I think it really depends. A senior that is 10x more productive than an intern or junior? That's perfectly fine, they are here to learn. A mid-level dev

At several companies I worked for, by using Scrum Points, it was always visible that the most experienced devs were able to regularly deliver a multiple (definitely around 10x) more points than interns and about 2x more than the average dev

It definitely is. It happens with over-achievers but it also happens very frequently with under-achievers. In jobs where people have quotas it is very visible, seeing people scrambling to finish it all by the end of the month, to the detrim

Sure, but putting more effort doesn't necessarily means working more hours. "Work smarter not harder" also applies to improving and applying yourself.

by ratww 5y ago
I agree that this work ethic is indeed healthier and with most of the list, but I want to make one caveat: a programmer working secretly after hours to deliver more is not really a 10x programmer, he's just someone doing unpaid overtim

The phrase “software is crap” was said by someone criticizing Casey Muratori, not by himself or by me. It was a mischaracterization. If you want to paraphrase him correctly, he has claimed several times that there are several low-hanging-fr
