> My personal experience is that people who describe their abilities like you do are actually not very good at their job but think they are.
I respectfully have a complementary but somewhat different view (again, with full respect-- your personal experience is not mine)
The author describes themself (humbly) as a 10x developer. And they seem to think "10x developer" means a person who fills the pareto principle (the one person who does 80% of the work). The author also has stats to back this up, and again, I stress that they are humble about it.
As another poster mentioned, a "10x" is not the person who does 10x more than anyone else, but rather the person who allows many many other people to do 10% more than they could otherwise.
As I see it, the author has grown to the limits of what their company offers, and should indeed interview for other jobs. Not necessarily take a different job, but to get a different benchmark for their abilities.
