I don't claim to be a 10x programmer, rather I've thought a lot about productivity and programming. In my opinion it's better to develop deep knowledge of a few tools, than spending time learning and futzing with many tools. I've mostly developed this opinion from experience and a Philip Greenspun anecdote that I can't seem to find, that basically goes like "programmers like to grab a bunch of 'best of breed tools,' disappear into the server room to integrate them, only to emerge 2 years later to ask for a $2 million budget increase and another 2 years.
