I ran into a AI post and a sentence in it really resonated with me. “Getting an AI to do what you want means being able to articulate things well - providing just the right amount of context along with a clear description of the task.”

The thing about this is that this has always been what defines the best of the best #software engineers. The ability to not just write the #code but to clearly communicate what the code did, why it did that, what constraints it was operating under, etc. Whether that was docs, comments, PR description, self-documenting code, whatever didn’t matter. Just the ability to #communicate.

Think about that #10x #rockstar programmer you used to know. Where’s their code now? Is it stagnant with nobody willing to touch it? Or is it retired and replaced with something more understandable?

Little shout out the 10x engineer(s) out there. Primagen says what I think right here. "There's nothing more painful than a dev that's really fast and lacks in wisdom". Watch out for these bros, hiring managers!

A "10X professional", is not one able to do the same work as 10 ppl w/ the same profile in less time, or cooler, that's what this marketing mess & AI boom sells.

A 10X person is the most resourceful and independent one because that's reliable; you can have no worries about their critical thinking and stuff. It's not about time.

When time is money, capitalism wins. Don't grow vertically but horizontally.

"Turn disagreements into interesting conversations, where both sides work together to find the best solution. Engineers that can do that, are the actual 10x engineers to me."

I got hired back at Square as a staff eng, which means increased scope and responsibility. E.g., one of my first tasks is figuring out why images on Mastodon aren't loading from corp machines and getting IT to fix it.

I have this wild idea that simply defining #techJobs by their #responsibilities instead of their #techskills could ease many ailments of the #techsector :

- #imposterSyndrome
- #techExcptionalism
- failure to hire & promote #women and #minotities
- chronic under-appreciation of #softSkills
- #engineer tunnel vision
- over-focus on a specific #Technology
- lack of definition around senior roles
- #manager Vs IC tension
- EMs doing #coding rather than #management
- The #10x / #rockstar #Dev myth

So, if you're a #10x developer and are not getting paid 10x and don't have equity, you're not a 10x developer. You're a #sucker
