Re:Rules of thumb for a 1x developer by joncrane on Thursday April 30, 2020 @11:04AM (#23031592)
Our biggest rockstar on the team is 60. He's incredible. I have worked with workhorses before. Careful, eager to learn, and prodigious.

This guy blows those "workhorses" out of the water. He's a Clydesdale. He literally makes everyone else on the team (including me) look bad in comparison. He's THAT good.

He acknowledges that due to his age, he has to work harder to prove himself. On our current team, he no longer has anything to prove, yet puts in rock star performances day after day after day. I could go on but you get the point. Don't give up!
