I believe 10x engineers really do exist, but a hard truth about them is that if one of them were to join your startup, chances are you would have no idea what to do with her/him. To utilize an exceptional person, you need the right project and the right environment.
The output of a bored genius fixing bugs in your stupid mobile game backend is still just a less buggy but just as stupid mobile game. Well, that, and the side projects your engineer is secretly working on the other 90% of their time.
if you have a 10x engineer ready to join your startup, offer him/her a seat on the main cabin (aka: equityzation)
I have a unique genius in finding them. Right place, right time, right idea. wind 'em up, watch 'em go ...
could it be perhaps that “10x engineers” or “exceptional ppl” are less defined by eg being some person or individual of greatness and moreso by the situational context surrounding the coincidental meeting of right setting, person and moment?
The *expression* of genius is contextual -- right problem right time -- but latent genius is rather obviously intrinsic. But most latent geniuses never end up expressing their potential, unfortunately.
oh yes. Fairly smart but in any 'normal' work situation I am utterly stupid and useless. Let me do complex stuff, that is easy.
Pair him/her with an 11x product manager, because product should always be ahead of engineering.
And that environment is oftentimes no where to be found
10x term originated from a paper which showed that the best programmers are 10 times better than the worst programmers. 10x engineer is basically a best of *all* peer programmers (Not the best of best)
Half the value of a really great dev is that you don’t have to hand them a project on a platter, you point them in the general direction of a problem and then they kill it. And then they get promoted and no longer spend all their time coding, but that’s a separate problem.
