10x developer ?
It started long long time ago...
There are more and more people talking about 10x and even 100x
10x exists
(But it is not how you think)
There are extraordinary people
They feel like out of this world
Modern Heroes
We even have favorite ones
Their success is so extra-ordinary
And there is no easy answer why and how
That we create myths
Elon Musk works
100 hrs a week
10x developer
What about ?
Is it a myth ?
10x Developer
How to become one ?
10x developer
=
10x productive
Productive ?
Lines of Code?
We can agree that it doesn't really matter
Business impact?
That is very complicated and is more related to how team operates not single person
Hours they work ?
Let's just miss this one
I don't really know
All the metrics, I have are based on team effort and collaboration
They are 10x more productive because they are solving the right problems
They are 10x more productive because they are multipliers
10x developers ...
Both of those things are based on team collaboration
Finding proper problems to fix is team effort
Being a multiplier is also team effort
Don't look for 10x developers focus on your team!
Even if they are out there ...
They are rare
how to find them?
Stripe
BYOT
Bring your own team
As a Developer ....
Improve your team work skills
Improve your soft skills
Become multiplier
... Make the team as a whole 10 times more productive!
As a Leader forget about
10x Developer and ...
Thank You
