My story: Most founders who need a technical partner, aren't technical enough to vet anyone properly when it comes to selecting 10x engineers. They think they have a 10x engineer, but then they hire a CTO who spends 4 months of dev time/money trying to make MongoDB into a SQL database instead of just using a SQL database. They didn't hire a 10x engineer, they hired someone with shiny object syndrome.

Exactly. Also, since 10x’ers’ work identity is “getting shit done”, slowdowns are nails, and “screw it I’ll go ahead and get it done for us myself” the hammer It’s the most shortsighted progress you can get at the cost of culture, which will always beat velocity on timelines longer than 6 months
