    @EvelineSulman @inthehands yes. And this is where I also disagree with some folks about the value of those mythical “10x” engineers who just want to write code but never want to talk with colleagues, check in their code with empty or one line descriptions “fixed bugs” or “added machine learning” and otherwise don’t work with the team.

    They almost always are a bigger risk than reward - when they leave their code is typically nearly impossible for anyone else to maintain and often is a black box

    @EvelineSulman @inthehands the real superstar developers are the folks who not only write good code but also write great descriptions, mentor others on their code, collaborate with the team and teach new and old developers new tricks and skills. I’ve know some folks like this - they were incredible managers, brilliant technologists and left their teams and the company as a whole stronger and more resilient because while they were good they also played well with others and raised everyone up
