My go-to examples of 10x developers are benevolent dictators like antirez (of Redis), evanw (of esbuild + Figma CTO), youyuxi (of Vue), Carmack, etc.

Both qualitatively and quantitatively, their output is at least 10x of a typical developer at a typical company, not even counting everything these people do besides writing code. Many more are not famous but are in the same league of impact/productivity - I'm genuinely puzzled how someone can say such people do not exist.

HoMM3 has a cult following among lots of 25-45 years old males. During recent elections, one of candidates mentioned that he enjoys playing HoMM3 a lot, comments under the video were like 80% "I'll vote for anyone who plays HoMM3" and alike.

A number of high-ranking members were convicted shortly after WWII in the so-called Nuremberg trials (as they took place in the German city of Nuremberg). Here is the introductory paragraph from Wikipedia:

"The Nuremberg trials (German: Nürnberger Prozesse) were a series of military tribunals held following World War II by the Allied forces under international law and the laws of war. The trials were most notable for the prosecution of prominent members of the political, military, judicial, and economic leadership of Nazi Germany, who planned, carried out, or otherwise participated in the Holocaust and other war crimes.",

Not just that, the proposed solution also depends on the government being effective.

Show HN: A yet another useful YAML library for Go
I develop a library goccy/go-yaml for manipulating YAML in Go. Go already has a major library github.com/go-yaml/yaml, but I wanted a new library for various reasons, so I decided to make it myself from scratch.
This library is a major library among Japanese Gophers as well as github.com/go-yaml/yaml. It is used by many companies and OSS. However, I would like more people outside of Japan to use it.

Perhaps you're wondering why you need to use github.com/goccy/go-yaml instead of github.com/go-yaml/yaml. The reason is I wrote it in the README.

Of course, github.com/go-yaml/yaml is a great library. But in many cases I also believe that github.com/goccy/go-yaml will also help your development.

If you like it, please give it a try. And I would be grateful if you could give me feedback.

Finaly, This library is developed in my personal time. I develop many other OSSs, and depending on the development priority, I may not be able to immediately respond to feature requests. If you have a request for github.com/goccy/go-yaml, please consider sponsoring. I get new vitality thanks to the sponsors. I also strive to meet the needs of sponsors as much as possible.
Saying 10x programmers are a myth because it's crazy that someone could do in 1 day what another could do in 1 week makes the assumption that both programmers in the example have the same amount of context, background understanding, and experience.

The benefit of talented engineers comes from the fact that they avoid costly pitfalls - not that they pump out more code per hour worked.

I feel this "10x programmers are a myth" attitude comes from a good place of wanting to promote harmonious working and skill-up junior engineers, but it seems so totally detached from reality. I'm not sure the "benefit" of propagandizing against talented assholes is worth the cost of demotivating people who might be inspired that they could become a 10x engineer.

Detokenization or Anonymization?
I think most people who have worked with me would consider me a 10x developer, I am capable of writing something in hours that would take others weeks (not in a half-arsed way, but taking all of the complexities of the domain into account). And I think that's what most people think a 10x'er is: that they can just do stuff quicker.

That's not what I think 10x'er is though. I think a 10x'er is someone who enables the 'average' developer to become a 2x, 3x, 4x developer. This can be through writing some core tech, a library used by all, or through mentoring and guidance. The 10x'er can then become a 100x or even 1000x developer. The 10x dev is the person who picks up the really difficult or ugly stuff and says: "Hold my beer, I'll get that done" - motivating the team and helping them to keep velocity. They lead by example and explain to the team why they've taken the approach they have.

Sometimes people use the term Rockstar to define a 10x developer. I think that's a loaded term that comes with an 'arrogance' tag. The true 10x developers shouldn't be arrogant (beyond the base level arrogance everyone of ability has), they can and should be the glue that holds a team together and helps everyone achieve more.
Never. How would they be complicit in the crime?
Your company may care about it. Endpoints are as common a vector for attacks as the server is. As a penetration tester, I’ve used DoS vectors before to make a developer think they needed their password to kill an app, and stole their credentials to then breach their other assets. If you think the server is all that matters, you are a good target in my eyes.
Not sure about that since the whole corona-remote thing makes things a bit weird. But I say definitely try, you literally have nothing to lose and they like the managerial types.
this kind of slow motion and macro stuff is really eye opening, a perspective shift that gives us an opportunity to reflect on life - how intricate, beautiful and perfect the millions of different species we have on our planet are.

I think we're unable to fully appreciate biodiversity - a lot of it is too small for us to take notice, or too large to comprehend at ecosystem level. Similarly we are also unable to fully appreciate the loss of it - it's too abstract and happens at timescales our biological planning capabilities haven't evolved for (decades instead of minutes or days).

Such a shame to lose millions of years of amazing parallel optimisation by evolution, across so many species.

I once worked on a team that in hindsight had two 10x developers in a team of only 12. They were vastly different, and the difference to me is extremely interesting.

The first one was not a bad person by any means, but had no social skills, no ability to communicate and often just forged ahead building great stuff on his own. Entire areas of the software were entirely conceived and created by him, and it was difficult to even grasp what he was doing while pair programming with him. In a day he would write more tests and get more coverage than the rest of us would create in a week.

The second one had come from a FAANG-ish place where he was extremely successful, but didn't want the money or stress. He was extremely kind, considerate and great at communicating. Pair programming with him was a joy and he helped everyone else on the team grow. I'm confident he could have created entire regions of the software on his own, but he knew that wasn't the right thing to do. He would often ask questions until someone else on the team could solve a problem, even though I'm sure he knew how to solve it easily himself.
> Becoming a 10x developer means that you have a set of skills that work well together in an end to end process from going to initial requirements to fully fledged architecture and/or code.

The problem with that definition is that it tags the coveted 10x label onto the problematic cases mentioned in the article: that guy who is able to hack together POC code that he demos and passes off as the solution, but requires a whole team to fix and to rewrite and to rearchitect to get it to actually work and be production-ready and be maintainable.

Inadvertently, this means that we see the 10x label being tied to observable behaviors that are actually a productivity nightmare just because they go from zero to demo in record time.
What reporting about FB has been dishonest?
You know, I'm honestly amazed we haven't seen any serious terror attacks use drones yet. I guess there is still a bit of a barrier in terms of cost and technical know-how for your average mass-murderer, but there are already drones which could do a huge amount of damage in an open space if equipped with the right weaponry.
So, what is not correct in the video?

Ask HN: What did you think about the documentary “People You May Know”?
I watched this documentary last night on NRK [0] (Norwegian broadcaster) and it made a deep impression on me.

In a nutshell, it documents how Cambridge Analytica-like companies in the US targets christian communities and leverages their data (without their knowledge) to influence their vote. They literally push churchgoers towards more radical positions, all cleverly funded by politically connected organizations.

You can read a short review of the docu in The Guardian [1] if you want a slightly longer take on it.

That's good you've observed the same effects and definitely agree that anaerobic training improves fitness and teh associated markers over time. When in my teens I did a lot of running but back then I didn't have a HR monitor and probably most of my training was anaerobic and still managed to improve well over the years. I suspect I was taking on high levels of stress which ultimately led me to quit running when I started university.

Interesting that you mention sleep HRV. I use the Oura ring and have observed that my sleep HRV is super super low at the moment, like 15/20ms but when I check it in the morning with my polar H10 strap then it will usually come out between 60-80ms. Tried to figure out what causes it but not had any luck so far. I don't think I'm over-training or have any other issues.

I follow Phil Maffetone's training methodology [1], which has worked quite well for me. So currently, 80% of my training by distance/time is between 135bpm and 145bpm. The training is mostly steady runs between 7km to 25km. The remaining 20% is a mixture of progression runs, speed training, and intervals.

Initially, for the first 6 months of training, all my training was below 145 bpm and was quite slow at 6min/km but now I can do 4.30min/km at 140bpm and I'm still getting faster!

Cheers

I like your point about the slow motion stuff being eye opening - I agree.

I don't get why _every_ point about 'the wonder of nature' has to suffixed with a downer.

It actually leaves the impression with me that you actually want to put everyone on a downer, while trying to signal to us how much you love nature.

> the P.O. could use the income

The P.O. is a service, it doesn't have need of income.

No, because they're services, not for-profit businesses.
I recognise that! Did not want to put you on a downer though, just reflect on why it often feels like we are on a slow motion train wreck, incapable of doing much about it.

Feels like we should generally have more positive narratives and stories of the future, like this

I have a strong objection to how high the alcohol content of many drinks is these days.

Higher levels of alcohol can disguise bad or cheap processes. For example, these days red wines are often 14% - 14.5% alcohol or even higher and these percentages are pretty universal irrespective of which region of the world they come from. In decades past the equivalent wines would have been only 12% - 12.5%. (Remember, top first growth Bordeaux reds were traditionally 12.5% - it's the extra ageing that makes them great (at least in part) - not the extra alcohol.)

The spirity character of additional alcohol adds extra zest to a poorly made wine. For instance, a few extra percent alcohol can make up for the much shorter maturity (cask) times
that makers allow for wines these days. If anything, we need research to make wines, beers etc. of comparable or even better quality but with even lower alcohol, but there seems precious little interest in that.

In essence, money again trumps health considerations.

No, I'm not a wowser, I've an empty one liter bottle of 56% proof cask-stength single malt Bowmore scotch sitting on a shelf to remind me how nice it was. But that's not the point!
What I don't think most folks realize is that USDT is heavily centralized. They have an extensive 'blacklist' of tokens they've frozen, and they add to it regularly. Far more so, I believe, than any of the other stablecoins. They were the first (only?) to freeze tokens coming out of the Poly hack. [1]

I believe they even forced a change to Omni to support blacklisting after they were 'hacked' [2] a few years ago (scare quotes because it was never investigated or IMO resolved). [3]

It's highly antithetical to the Satoshi white paper.

If Tether gets shut down and their leadership banged up, I strongly suspect custody of the network will fall with the DoJ and they could, at their discretion, freeze all tokens pending full AML/KYC and source-of-funds of holders. Whether this is a credible fear or not, the ensuing fear and chaos would almost certainly break the $1 peg, especially once their exchange friends stop supporting the peg and turn states witness.

> It's not even good! This has to be the strangest cargo-cult following of all options you could have.

I don't think that's true. It's lighter and faster than big IDEs while being way more accessible than them and vim/emacs. It handles most of what you throw at it, has lots of very good extensions, and you can easily use your shell. If you don't understand what's good about it, that's a failure on your part.

> If you're going to use a proprietary closed editor anyway

It's open source though.

My experience with jetbrains has been mostly terrible. That doesn't mean that their IDE isn't good, but it means that they are worse than VSCode for me.

There is a fundamental difference between being incompetent at waging war and organized, systematic action to erase an entire group of people simply because of their genes.

If you really want to compare Nazi to US you would have to imagine US using their industry and war machine to try and kill every single Afghani or Muslim in the world. See how ridiculous this sounds? That is because these two acts are not really comparable in any meaningful way.

My grandparents lived through the war in Poland and I spent my childhood listening to their stories.
War is a messy business. There is no way to wage war without killing innocent people. The difference between the Nazi's an the Americans or the Israelis is the former did it on purpose while the latter take every reasonable precaution to avoid killing the wrong people.

The other side, the Palestinians or the Taliban actively target innocent people. Yet I don't hear you complaining about that - maybe you're not impartial here.
