I'm a 1x dev because I get paid 1x. Don't fall for the hacker news memes, this is a job.
Careful, don't being so quick to show your power level, and reveal the truth, 1xdev bro
You are a 1x because you are average. If you really were a better dev why wouldnt you market those skills and get a promotion or a better job?
>1x because you are average
Wrong. The average dev is more like a 0.25x dev. The average dev is so bad at their job they actively make work for other people.
1x means average and it changes depending on what engineering field and what point in time you are comparing yourself to. The average going down just makes it easier to be 10x
Wrong. 10x means doing the work of 10. 1x dev would do the work of a single developer. In a perfect world the average would be 1. Unfortunately in my experience the average dev just makes work for me further down the line, mostly because ideas like "design" and "forethought" are just too much for the average dev. The average dev just writes a shit load of unit tests, makes them pass, then calls it a day. A couple of months later you end up having to rewrite a chunk of it because the average dev just can not into loose coupling.
I can tell youve never worked at a real tech company anon. Why is your job hiring pajeets, are you a code monkey too?
>youve [sic] never worked at a real tech company
I work in finance, so yeah. On the brightside I don't have to put up with troons.
Ok why are you saying things you don't know then?
There is absolutely no way you work in finance if you don't understand a statistic like 1x and 10x devs
hes probably a bank teller anon
>Only REAL devs work at gayMAN
LMAO! Your standard gayMAN dev is worse the average dev.
>Thinks the only tech companies are FAANG.
ngmi
Still uses the very outdated acronyms.
Get with the times boomers.
My bad MAAAM
>In a perfect world the average would be 1
The 1x developer is adjusted to represent the average developer. It isnt a perfect world and things change so certain metrics need to be dynamic like this.
>The average dev is so bad at their job they actively make work for other people
that would make them <0devs.
Im a 10x dev because I am self employed and pay myself 10x. I would pay myself 100x but I invest the money back into my business. Dont fall for the IQfy users coping about their lack of skill saying that 1x is all you need to be. Why dont you use the other 9x to learn more so you can escape the 9-5 and start your own company.
how did you start your company?
Please be as detailed as possible
I came up with a product that I saw as beneficial. I developed this product on my own for a few years while I was working at my previous job. I spent a lot of my own money on servers and such and many of my friends helped with development. Some of them are even stakeholders in my company. When my proof of concept was fully functional I applied to YC. I had also saved up my own money so I wasn't entirely reliant on vc funding. This was probably the best decision because YC turns down a lot of people who aren't ready to invest more in their product. I was able to secure funding to bring my product to market and quit my job.
I won't ask you what your product is cuz you probably don't want to share.
But I'm curious about what kind of users/clients you have?
I've come up with some potential product ideas over the years but they usually fall into the SaaS or B2B categories, and I have no clue how the frick I'm supposed to advertise and market to people like that. It seems like that would be a bigger chunk of the work than actually building the thing, and sometimes they want support/service plans etc which just seems like a massive headache.
My product fits in SaaS. The customers I have are mostly companies. Finding customers really depends on your product though, you need to study the market and create a solution to an existing problem. If you do this right the customers will find you because they need the product. Advertising is for letting them know you are there, not convincing them they need to buy your product.

All these replies are off topic. This thread is for discussion of 10x dev strats. I learned python when I was 3 or 4, cant remember. I soon realized its shortcomings and I learned C to write my first operating system. Keep in mind that this was when I was in kindergarten. You need to have parents that are already engineers, and it helps if their parents were smart too. My parents made me solve problems from a book called the Hungarian Problem Book or something like that. This enhanced my problem solving skills when my brain was still developing. Furthermore, it gave me the confidence to question everything. In middle school I started hacking and used this skill to gain access to supercomputers. I was arrested in 2016 for my hacking my school but I was able to erase the evidence that would have had me fricked. I got off with a warning and I decided to focus on designing my own microprocessors on fpgas. This brings us to the present day, I am working at a fortune 500 tech company to fund my side project of making a quantum annealer to mine the rest of the Bitcoins. Tell me your story anons.
>Hungarian Problem Book
I would have been filtered by my math classes in college if it werent for this book.
Kek, this needs to be a pasta,
I laughed too hard
31 y.o. boomer with "senior" title at a FAANG (or whatever the acronym is now)
I have never been a "10x dev" but my job is to help 10+ other developers be productive and make sure they are not building the wrong thing. I'm probably a 0.5x dev with the rest of my time.
I never appreciated this kind of role until I worked at an actual functioning company. My career was mostly bouncing between shit shops before.
Devs left to their own devices will just built the most convoluted shit. There needs to be an adult supervisor to keep things in scope. When done right and the "senior" knows how to be firm without being a dick, it improves the process of writing code in a team immensely.
Whats a 10x dev ?
A dev that hires 10 pajeets while applying to 10 different jobs?
You are obviously not even a 1x dev because you cant use your brain. It is a developer who is 10x more productive than an average one. Most people cope about how it doesnt exist but it does and they are just 1x. 10x developers do get paid 10x more and hiding your power level from your employer is top tier larp.
how can i be a dev?
Go to college
already in college. stuff like it and networking are more appealing right now but id like to find something interesting in programming, any suggestions? no web stuff
Take cs classes, how obvious can it be?
>Take cs classes, how obvious can it be?
am taking already, lmao
If you like them try switching to a CS degree
have a nice day cringelord. don't ever post on IQfy again.

shhh but we have all the newest 10xer framewerks over at https://teddit.net/r/programmingcirclejerk

I'm a 25x dev, also called a unicorn. I would normally not post here, except I am protected by the Lord God Almighty.
The trick is to keep pajeets and israeli bosses out of the kitchen, or they will hobble you to the grave with strange regulations and armchair technical commentary that isn't backed up by any actual experience.
Every successful organization must be united under one person, one head. If you are sharing design authority then you are going to fail and your moronic underlings will make sure you don't get home early on Fridays.
I'd quit my job if someone was cooking breakfast meat inside
I'd take your place because I love breakfast
Good riddance troon
the frick is a 10x dev and why does it sound like something coined by a homosexual in management?
A 10xer does 10 times the work of the average employee in the same amount of time. Literally a meme invented by homosexuals in management.
If you're anything but a 1x dev you're just sucking your wagelord's dick for nothing.
>10 times the work
For the same wage? Hah
Presumably, automation exists to help with that.
You got a loicence for that barbecue m9
what is the syrup for
he doesn't have things to make pancakes or waffles
only has sausage, eggs, bacon, cheese, syrup
???
10x the employee == 10x the cuck
