> But your usual 10x engineer you'll meet is the guy who knows the ins and outs of all running systems at work giving him the ability to debug and solve issues 10x quicker than the rest

You're talking about the 100x engineer now. The 10x engineer is the normal engineer you are probably accustomed to working with. When you encounter a 1x engineer, you will be shocked at how slow and unproductive they are.

Well, Of Course I Encountered Him. He's Me.


Can’t be you. Self awareness is not a feature of 1x engineers.


I guess that means the fastest way to become better than a 1x engineer is to declare that you are 1x engineer. Makes sense to me!


Unlikely, given that you see the 100x engineer as being only a 10x level up.


You are using the deca-engineer scale.
