Is your 10x engineer really 10x more productive if they don’t boost team performance at all? Can we measure that?
The best engineers I’ve worked with are the ones who can simplify problems and guide the team through the simplified vision. These engineers didn’t look 10x productive by measures of line count, to git commits or hours in the office. But their team got a lot done and, more importantly, didn’t waste time on dumb shit and over engineering. Most orgs suck at measuring those folks.

accidentally wrote "saad" instead of "saas" in a text to my partner; they immediately coined "Software as a Disappointment"
and honestly, where is the lie
@wade
honestly I don't hate this one that much. they're obviously trying for self deprecating humor and acknowledging the artificiality and perverse incentives that drive such communications.
I mean, it doesn't really work and still feels intrusive and unwelcome, but a hair better than the sales calls that demand you play along with whatever phony urgency they're acting out.
