>I've seen him find solutions in hardware, OS settings, network configuration

I've done the same but I am not a 10x coder. I'm just a generalist on steroids who happens to take a fancy to asm, security, arch, and abstracted programming languages.

...that means you are a 10x coder but would not like to claim yourself though.

I'd never entertain the notion that I am equal to a great many of my programming fellows, I learn something new everyday from the people I talk to...let alone 10x better.

It's just absurd, I'm an over-diversified generalist, I'm better than no one at anything.
