I can do it too, look:

burden is on the you to show that "10x programmer" is not "an expression, a saying or an image". Plenty people consider the term to be not literal, and argue as such all over HN.



You may find one of the studies credited with creating the idea of the "10x programmer" interesting to skim: http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/645438.pdf


https://www.techopedia.com/definition/31673/10x-developer

See top answer here: http://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/17961...

The "10 times" didn't come from nowhere, people who use the term to simply mean a great (and not literally "ten times productive") programmer ignore the origin of the term.

You've crossed into incivility in this thread. We ban accounts that do that. Please don't do it again.

Can you give me examples, so I can tell them that they're wrong as well?
