> you have no idea how luxury this belief is.
I know very well what working with non-10x engineers is.
I also know ver well that performance is a management and HR issue, not an engineering issue.
Your job as a competent engineer is to make your team work. Your responsibility is to help out fellow team members whenever they need to be unblocked, and create a healthy, accepting, tolerant work environment. Your job is to be trustable, not make others hate their job, and not be the toxic asshole who makes everyone miserable and drives others away from your team. Because otherwise it is you who create high-stress work environments, and burn out people.
