I'm actually shocked at the downvotes. The previous post was discussing the problem of all the layers of abstractions, and I was pointing out that a "10x programmer" could be getting 10x results by finding ways around those abstractions.
Probably because HN is mostly frequented by programmers, and not managers or "startup entrepreneurs" who throw around terms like "10x programmer" as if it's a thing that actually exists, and not a harmful concept that at best promotes gatekeeping and at worst promotes egotists who believe that their sloppy shortcuts won't have to be cleaned up by everyone else when they inevitably fail.
