Re:A look at the 10x paradigm by ktRolster on Monday July 04, 2016 @02:13PM (#12032150)
In my experience, no-one gets to 10x by just banging harder and letting other people cleaning up the mess.

Yeah, that's a good one. Cleaning up your messes is a way to improve your architecture skill quickly. I can give you other ideas that will quickly push you to 10x skill level:

* Focus. Put away your phone, don't surf the internet at work. That alone will raise you above the crowd and let you go home early.

* Fix bugs early. Don't send them out to QA, don't send them to customers. Once your bug count starts increasing, it's a death cycle that slows you down like molasses.

* As soon as bugs (or problems) come in, try to think of a way to avoid that problem in the future. Over time, you'll develop habits that will serve you well.
