Software engineer Charity Majors challenges the "10x engineer" myth, arguing that true productivity lies in team performance, not individual brilliance. She encourages building workplaces where "normal" engineers can thrive. Are we focusing too much on hiring "the best" instead of the right people?
I won’t read the article now, but
this is bullshit, a categorical statement.
There are good processes and there are bad processes. Good processes are usually functional for people of (sensibly) different mindsets and mental conditions. Bad processes are usually “one size fits all” in one way or another.
There are things a team can’t have, and there are things a talented individual can’t have.
There’s also experience that covers holes one can’t plan for, yep.
