I don&#x27;t think it is possible to really be sure that you are a 10x engineer - it&#x27;s more of an outside validation thing. Everyone thinks they&#x27;re really good and that only they run into weird emotional issues that slow them down. People like to rationalize.<p>If you see one of your co-workers doing 10x the work of your other co-workers at high quality, then it&#x27;s much easier to label them at a 10x engineer than trying to label yourself. Objective vs subjective.
