Before we talk of 10 x developers/engineers, it would be interesting, asking what is a 1 x. The underlying presupposition is, that there is even a 1 x developer and in comparison to that 10 sounds much more valuable. Interestingly nobody talks about those 8.5 x developers, obviously a neglected minority.
And what do those 5 x developers all day?
OTOH did you ever meet those poor little fellows called the 0.9 x developers. What a tragic story they must have - being ever so close to 1 but never fully 1.
And what about those .75ers? They have tendencies - they are at least half way to the second half of becoming a 1 x developer and ambitions, but will they ever make it to 1 or get stuck at 0.9?
Our industry is obsessed with numbers and metrics even where it totally makes no sense at all.
