* avoiding object-oriented programming

* avoiding testing

* avoiding security

* avoiding documentation

* fixating on known platforms

* a highly inflated ego

* demeaning other programmers

* arguing with experienced programmers during code review

* using the word 'maths' (the plural form of math is mathematics)

None of this classifies you as a 10x programmer and your comment has 'arrogant' written all over it. You have expert syndrome.

Maths is the proper term in British English.

Classic projection. You probably suffer from it. I spell out my weaknesses clearly.

And Object Astronauts suck.

Not quite sure what I'm projecting here... Your statement "I would probably classify myself as a 10x" is very misguided, and your response here is a poor attempt at manipulation. I only spoke up because I saw others agreeing with you about being a 10x under your definition; which is more aligned with a programming intern's view of the world.

Here's my opinion on what I have seen in the workforce for 10x and 100x engineers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20441541

I think you'll connect with my last statement in that comment.

the correct term is architecture astronauts, but we get your point.
Yeah, didn't tackle that one...

I highlighted the fact that ignoring OOP is a weakness for @foobar_ and their response was essentially "you force every problem into objects and you suck". Interacting with this person is like carrying an open bag of snakes.
