if a 10x dev causes a lot of unplanned work, then they are not 10x devs, they are just masters of Pareto principle - they achieve 80% of result by applying 20 % of the total effort, and then they just offload the remaining effort to the rest of the team.
I have the "I'm a developer too" manager, who will yell at you if you use VS CODE instead of PyCharm or ORM instead of raw SQL string. When there is a bug and frontend + backend cannot fix it in half a day, he will call you to the meeting room and say he can do all of our jobs in half an hour, but in reality, he can't operate Excel documents properly His catchphrases include: "I used to be a developer, and ..." "Have you ever coded?" "AI will replace developers"
40 minute stand-up? How about 1.5 hours?! EVERY DAMN DAY!
One of the most important things to look for when hiring someone for your team is whether you think you will enjoy working with that person. Not that they passed hard mode leetcode questions.
As if an ad took up over 1/5th of this video
Don't forget - the engineer that tells you your PRs are too large when they themselves submit larger PRs for review. - the engineer that spends 100% of their time refactoring things needlessly rather than doing actual work. - and now in 2025...the engineer that vibe codes EVERYTHING... Can't center anything without AI... Can't mock an object with 2 primitives without AI...
the product manager that ask for a feature to be developed and deployed asap and then gets mad at you for not testing it properly this happened this week to me lol
You forgot to include that one "prompt engineer dev" that literally only copies chatGPT code with little to no regard for what they are doing. Resulting in overwriting existing solutions or causing more issues in the process. Never has good ideas due to not even knowing enough about programming or engineering.
Totally true, this video is real life :face-purple-crying:. I have the Manager - The Design Purist - Devops Gatekeeper in one person, inconceivable
Most problems are people problems, not tech lol
The Freeloader: needs to waste 2-3 hours a day on calls with other teammates to be enabled.
Congratulations brother you got your first sponsor, keep up the good work, your content is really good.
dude tbh i really hate 10x dev guys. They just write code only they can understand and no single comment. And when others cant understand it they think themselves as savior of the team then feed their ego
As having worked with CSS, I think I can understand or at least know where they (Design Purists) are coming from. A slight variation in margin, and incorrect pixel count can mess up a UI (read: responsive web design). So yeah, unlike the other types of people mentioned in this video, the design purists are the ones I can tolerate [the most].
i think you're thinking of old fashioned admin guy,. The point of devops is deploying as often as possible, it is also about breaking silos, not creating them
Holy shit. I didn't realize I'm a 10x engineer. LOL You didn't mention our prolific use of "git push --force". ;)
I'm a 10x developer now also manager... Let me quickly refactor this to make it more efficient, none of you seems to be capable of doing it
Dealt with and still dealing with an engineer who purposely targets my PRs and leaves 30 nitpicking and opinionated comments. In the process, it blocks the PR from merging with an actual request. "Dont use flex, use grid."
The 10x engineer was too true
