&gt; The easiest way to be a 10x engineer is to make 10 other engineers 2x more efficient.<p>I thought being a 10x engineer meant being able to achieve a task which could not be achieved by 10 average engineers.<p>Does it mean the ability to do 10x the amount of work than everybody else? That doesn&#x27;t seem extraordinary, that&#x27;s mostly a case of focus.<p>In general I dislike the egotism attached to the idea that one engineer is the cause of other engineer&#x27;s productivity. That&#x27;s a lame way of self-congratulating.
