I see a lot of peers worried when there are claims about how _other_ people are performing in other companies/projects, and how we "need to catch up". In the article I try to convey that 10x (let alone 100x) were just figures of speech. They have been adopted by the industry. The original meaning is lost. And some now believe are _real_ multipliers.
This post is a reminder of that, to be able to chill a little bit :)
In fact if you are that good, you are more likely to face resentment and intimidation than receive praise.
At the current AI moment you may get some points for tokenmaxxing but it wont last long. I wouldnt worry about 100X, corporate shops cant even keep up with 10x devs, 100x will be just you building shelfware that will never see the light of day and wont get you a raise anyway.
