I have a follow up question along the same vane.

What defines a high performance engineer? If we are talking about 10x engineers, then I would argue that level of performance isn't likely to be reachable by most people and teaching plays less of a role.

I mean, I would love to be a 10x dev, but I don't think any amount of training will make that happen. I'm just a shitty mid-level and have to live with that.

I was listening to a podcast by Amjad Masad of Replit. Listen to him explain how Replit works. https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2019/09/06/repl-it-brow...

Start at the 45:00 minute mark.

That's a 10x engineer to me.

I don't understand. It sounds like he's just explaining the architecture and process flow.

But maybe that's related to this:

"That's a 10x engineer to me."

The definition changes from person to person.
