wait, I finally get it. 10x developers write 10x lines of code. They're just verbose AF, so that many more lines of liability. That's it. Yeah, I'm not 10x.
I'm not saying, reduce lines of code in favor of readability, but that's a different argument. I've heard it said that no abstraction is better than the wrong abstraction, but are 10xers opting for no abstraction all the time?
I barely know how to code, but I think I could write a lot of lines of code too. They would be incredibly inefficient and poorly written though.
I don't think people here understand that Lauri Kesküll
is saying famous last words about CEOs, not developers.
Like what investor needs Lauri Kesküll to run a company when it can be run by just a few developers.
Why not merge into a larger company and get rid of all the "middle management"?
I remember seeing that happening once.
Special meeting, all cries, he got flowers from us though.
I think this was an episode of Silicon Valley
If 1 then odd. If 2 then even. If 3 then odd. Etc
My sloc is amazing. It works (unless you care about performance) and AI might even be trustworthy to continue the pattern.
