What Kind Of Coder Will You Become?

The 10x Coder is often positioned as a mythical developer who can
always save the day. Saron and Clive investigate how much of that
myth is grounded in truth. 


 Greg Sadetsky argues that coding is much like professional
sports—some athletes are bound to be much better than those
starting out. Brianna Wu and Bonnie Eisenman pick apart the myth
by sharing how much they have had to clean up after supposed 10x
Coders. Jonathan Solórzano-Hamilton recounts the story of "Rick,"
a self-proclaimed rockstar developer who assumed too much. And
everyone considers the benefits of the 1x Coders—because what use
is code without ideas and experiences to guide development?
