I work with a 10x engineer, I know they exist. Or at least ONE exists. We&#x27;d be DEAD without him. He&#x27;s by far the smartest, fastest, and most thorough person I&#x27;ve worked with since starting in IT in 2000. I&#x27;m not sure he knows how good he really is and I am afraid some day he&#x27;ll figure it out and leave. He&#x27;s also generally nice and humble, and at the same time can be fierce and mean to get things done. He makes me feel old dumb and slow, and I love it.
