When you're writing a library

99% of developers are working in boring business software with 2-3 other developers.

99% of codebases will be touched by maybe a dozen developers in its entire lifetime.

It's a good point though. Who decides what "one reason to change" is? a 10-line method could easily have hundreds of reasons to change.

Lol What??! You think Tyson went out and looked for a trainer?

No. He just happened to be an explosive beast who could knock out grown men at age 13.

When You Know 6 years ago

No, that's not the argument. That argument is that the global bitcoin network is slow as shit, and it would take 5 entire months just to process 140 million US citizens' taxes. Meaning that it's not really viable, unless some technological breakthrough happens.

Hum... maybe it's because they have so much technical expertise that they are able to have insights into other things?

Technical knowledge is still very important, and it's the basic foundation of being a software engineer, and maaaaannyyyyyy people out there don't even know the basics.

Ugh.

10x developers are usually people who have the lucky combination of:

-Having a close family member who understands computers

-Programming since 9 years old

-Naturally high IQ

-Decent emotional development and communication skills

Lmao no it doesn't.

Your salary is simply the amount of money you have convinced a company to pay you. You could waste 3 years making 100k a year only to deliver a failed project that resulted in 0 revenue.

Any decently competent technical leader can tell if a developer is being productive or not. It's stupid to waste time trying to measure something that is virtually unmeasurable.
