Software engineer Charity Majors challenges the "10x engineer" myth, arguing that true productivity lies in team performance, not individual brilliance. She encourages building workplaces where "normal" engineers can thrive. Are we focusing too much on hiring "the best" instead of the right people?
Do they call themselves 10x?
No, I’ve never heard anyone use that term to refer to themselves. I just don’t know a lot of arrogant assholes though.
