A comment on A look at the 10x paradigm.

The main problem with the "10x productivity" myth is that it's not clear what is that 10x _of_. Is it the amount of functionality? Or maintainability of the code? Reusability? Performance?

I've seen many developers implement some functionality in a record amount of time, but the resulting code was later discovered to be a) bug-ridden, b) difficult to maintain, c) unscalable or d) all of the above.

I think this describes most code that's ever been written.
