You're right to react to that tweet. I guess most of us read it.

I read it twice before understanding its meaning. I conclude that, either its author has a limited perception of the world of engineering out there, either I still do not understand.

It sounds like an excerpt from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. None of us has any superpower. For sure, we always are somebody else's smart. The opposite works correct, too.

No one in this world has succeeded thanks to one engineer who compiles manually in assembly, faster than my i9 8th generation. Success lies on a set of soft skills; a vision; and an appealing adventure.

The 10x engineer levels up others. Otherwise, he just an engineer doing his job.
