in case anyone is wondering why said driver behind me shouldn't be upset, here's the law for yielding way to emergency vehicles in massachusetts (the state i was in at the time)

just in case you're having a bad day, a person in a car behind me this morning went ballistic that i pulled over and stopped for an oncoming emergency vehicle with their lights & sirens on.

i've done a bit of math, and i will now refer to any particular unit of 6 seconds as a 'feral hog'
usage: 'i think the espresso machine is a little slow today, it took five feral hogs to make my coffee'

that thing where your partner had been out of town for a while and you’re cleaning up before they return and you have to find a balance between “there is still so much work to do” and “everything is done and is easier when you’re not here”

None of these Internet mattress companies innovate in the correct way — we need a square mattress with square fitted sheets so it doesn’t matter which direction you try to put them on

one really great thing about this '10x' nonsense is that i can add it to the keyword list in my email rule that filters out and deletes linkedin requests from recruiters (adding to the list that already contains 'ninja' and 'rockstar' etc)

be careful which golden cow you hitch your wagon to. unless you’re a crummy early stage investor who only cares about meteoric early growth and plans an exit strategy before things turn sour. enjoy your “10x” engineer. /rant

and also the repercussions on the rest of your team - tolerating people like this will drive any conscientious person away - whether they work with them directly or not. having a bratty “golden child” in engineering will ruin your company’s appeal to marketing, ops, etc

the original post is not wrong though - having someone on your team like this can speed your product to market. as long as you and your investors are willing to accept the risk of trusting the stability, usability, extensibility, and scale of your application to one fickle person

yes they are responsible for a lot of the code because they wrote it without input or exposition or documentation or review. of course they’re the only one who can fix it because sometimes it’s a tangled mess that they created and only they can understand.

in all seriousness i’ve worked with “10x” people like this, exactly as described. yes they produce a lot of code. yes they fix the bugs we discover in production. yes they caused the bugs in the first place by being “above” peer code reviews and working in a vacuum.

remember as you code today, often zero is not null. zero means something. don't default to zero if you mean 'nothing'

for me, protection was isolation–not trust. retreating was my immediate reaction, and guilt over what i did/how it was perceived kept me away. vulnerability was a weakness. investing in relationships left me open to enormous let-down. 4/5

i have fully ghosted former roommates, college friends, co-workers. i’ve kept distant. i’ve ducked out. i’ve not responded. at the time i didn’t understand why; i just snapped into a mode of self-protection. 3/5
