this guy seems like such an unexceptional programmer
how was he the tech lead at Google?

HHRR saw an asian guy and didn't much research.

Probably, I'm easily the most productive and cunning programmer out of anyone I've ever had the chance to work with (and I've had managers and coworkers tell me this so I know I'm not delusional). The problem is that I don't get to work on stuff that genuinely intrigues and motivates me so in practice I'm probably more of a 3xer.

Patrick???

>10x engineer
>oy vey work as hard as humanly possible for me goy

how do I get hired as a python brogrammer? is data science the only fast way into it?

10x doesn’t really exist, there are diminishing returns on productivity tricks. 3x does, though. Here’s what it looks like:

>Stop fucking around and choose to improve
>Ruthlessly prioritize active work items and ignore any possible distractions
>Avoid any meetings you can
>Disable email and only check at known fixed points in the day that you tell others about in advance
>Turn off your phone at work, disable fun websites on your workbox
>Use pomodoro timing or other focus strategies
>Go to bed every night at 10, get up at 7:30
>Take detailed notes of what your highest priority tasks are, what you did, and what others have told you during and after every work day.
>Reference these notes religiously whenever you or others have questions
>Save one hour each work day for growth and protect it aggressively.
>Use that hour to learn new topics, read code and docs, automate routine tasks, and read your notes.
>Practice communication and speechgiving, as this is the primary way you communicate to others (in one-on-ones and scrums) that you’re a important engineer doing important work.

The above is what it takes to 3x.

If someone tells you they’re 10x and it seems like they are, either they’re cutting corners, they’re massively overqualified for their job (which generally means they’re underpaid and therefore fucking up), or they’re putting on a good performance of the 3x good work they’re already doing.

10x just means a 3x comparing himself to a 1/3x.

>youtube recommends his vid
>title "how to be more productive"
>first 5 minutes is him selling a shitty light attachment
>next 5 minutes "spend all your time working"
powerful stuff.

So has he got a job, or did he fuck up so badly he got a total industry blackball?

He posted a video a while ago explaining how he makes money, he has/had some niche social network for boomer furfags and some software for photographers, and made good money selling stock video footage of views and shit.

literally me. Have been told I am the brightest programmer my age they have ever worked with by multiple people
Also blowing off/refusing all other tasks and obligations and only working on one thing completely uninterrupted helps immensely

Actually he works at facebook, his linkedin is easy to find

>works at Facebook
>continues to call himself an ex-Google engineer

What did he mean by this?

he realized that doing shit apps for normies to buy it's the best way to make easy money.

oh yeah? how much you make in a month?

Screenshot linkedin page? Can't view it due to jews wanting my information.

Sure

I've been described as a 10x engineer by my coworkers, but I never considered myself one.

I'd say I'm a 3x on things I'm personally interested in, 1.5x on normal tasks.

Also the guy in OP keeps showing up in my YouTube recommendations but I never click on him because he looks insufferable.

For the benefit of his image. and bank account.

Around the equivalent of $4k/month. This is in socialist Europe though, and I've only been working professionally for less than 2 years.

Then try to use your superior intelligence to make a quick buck, get enough for your personal expenses and have the rest of your free time to do what you like.

old job? dogshit - they didn't care which is a shame because I enjoyed it
new job? if you include guaranteed bonuses, $12.5k/month pre tax

there is no way someone in Jow Forums is doing 12k a month. Maybe someone from Jow Forums but from Jow Forums, nuh uh.

150k/year is easy as fuck in Silicon Valley dude

once again, you don't work on Silicon Valley, dude.

You're talking about Jow Forums as a whole you retard.
Is it inconceivable that people working in the place with the largest amount of technology companies in the world post on a technology board?

there are way more autists with actual decent tech jobs on Jow Forums than there are actual finance people on biz(~0)

goddamn, howcome europoor programmers are paid literally half of what their american counterparts make

>Is it inconceivable that people working...
on Jow Forums? Yeah

Those kinds of salaries really aren't uncommon in high COL areas for more experienced positions like senior devs

there are a lot of bitcoin users on Jow Forums. The have money but they are autistic too.

I was just watching that video.

They are offset by cheap living costs, free healthcare and free education. I'm not here to argue that it's objectively better than how things are handled in the US but it's pretty nice starting out your adult life completely debt free and without having to worry about some sudden illness or accident completely fucking over your one shot at a professional career.

I'm 1/10th engineer

I'm barely a 1x engineer and I feel overpaid even though I only make £3.5k a month as 24 year old

I don't know, I do my job and go enjoy life. You know there's more to life than working - spending all your energy there is a waste of potential.

Fuck. This. Guy

He spends all fucking day complaining about "arrogant devs" and "entitled juniors" and "shitty programmers"

His only achievments in life are a shitty dating app and he worked at google for a little while, big whoop.

The dude thinks he's a master programmer, but is so self-unaware. He probably deals with so much arrogance because he's literally arrogant as fuck

He is everything a techlead shouldn't be. He comes off more as a mid-level dev with 10 years of experience who's too caught up in their decade of experience to realize they're actually shit.

ye there are a lot of cryptocoin bagholders on biz lmao not people working at meryl lynch of rentech tho

Attached: AreYouSureAboutThat.png (911x695, 94K)

the irony in this comment is great lol he's taking te piss and putting on a character with a lot of actual good advice thrown in
the kind of person you describe are the exact people he's mocking with his bit
it's hilarious because the people who actually need his advice (you) unfortunately might not be able to tell when hes serious or not because hes so dry about it a lot of the time, though in the 10x video you really should've figured it out when he started physically stacking keyboards and talking about 10 computers at the same time,,,

Yeah and never misses an opportunity to brag about how busy and "successful" he is.

Interesting, I'm an accountant for Microsoft and you have just given me enough information to correctly identify you in our employee database. I'm sure your manager will be happy to hear you browse Jow Forums.
Have a nice day, Michael ;)

snitches get stitches, now I know who *you* are

I'm a log10(x) engineer

He basically said there are not 10xers, if you are a 1xer you are 10 times better than all the idiots slacking off.

>find any given opportunity to backstab a coworker
>both work for Microsoft

kek, too good to be true.

It's a meme

is this possible? move around jobs every 4-6 months? why would anyone hire you if they see a resume with this blatant job hopping?

His videos are satire

Whoa

Fuck you, nerd. The techlead is based.

Most of these are actually his personal stuff, avalanche games, avalancia, world of blood etc. is the name he uses to publish his shitty apps, it's not an actual team
Also people tend not to stay in the same company for long because your pay doesn't increase as much if you always stay in the same company

He's a fraud he worked at google for 7 or 8 months then got fired

yawn

see
faggot

-t neet

it's lies

yegor256.com/2019/01/22/10x-paychecks.html

shill

one thing about this guy is he's got daily shills hitting biz and g and a few other places.
hi pajeet

8 hours is the bare minimum for an adult. 10 is the average for toddlers, which is why they take naps.

this is actually a based way to use your skills
unixfags seething

>8 hours is the bare minimum for an adult.

Bullshit, it's 6-8.

Not 3, step ur game up

get 6 hours of sleep every day for a week and then 8-10 hours a day of sleep for a week and compare how you felt

So he gets to talk non-sense all day and act like an asshole, but it's okay because he hides behind satire

I bet you think SNL is satire too (Hint: It's projection, not satire)

Sleep is variable and there's techniques to have less.

>Here's my opinion on everything
>OH WAIT NO DON'T CRITICIZE IS SATIRE

6 (actual 5 or more) is the old standard by Moore & Porud in the fucking '40s for US government health and safety requirements when they first were implemented.
Research since then has agreed on a minimum of 8 hours for the average adult for proper brain function. FDA keeps advocating 6-8hrs as a comprise between the law and actual science. Naturally no one can enforce bad personal habits, just your employer has to give you at least 6 hours for sleep if they have to manage all your fucking hours.

Those are about as effective as those supplements that make your dick bigger.

6 hours is fine for a short time, when you have tons of work, definitelly not longterm.
But hell, the other user sleeps only 6 hours, he must be a millionaire by now.

Nigger I'm fully rested after 6 in fact the only time I EVER do anything close to 8 is when I'm sick as fuck, stop being low energy.

London?

>$26,000+ in benefits
That sounds like bullshit.

Imagine being a 10x engineer and still being a wagecuck.

He has great anime hair
I wish I had that kind of hair

only wagecucks use terms like "10x engineer"

That is probably healthcare + meals + 401k matching

ENGINEER... TIMES.. TEEEN!

honestly I've taken a different view, 10x are the people who don't know how to negotiate pay and get paid 1/10 of what their kike employer gets out of them

Actual 10x reporting in. I do have equity in my company, but didn't even really have to try for it after they got to see what I was capable of over the first few months. Also, I firmly believe being a 10x is something you can train yourself into becoming, rather than just expecting it to be granted to you upon birth like some entitled little faggot.
The trick is to embrace the most aggressive productivity leverage you can find to actually get shit done. Jenkins = mandatory, even for personal side projects. I want builds going while I'm coding without thinking about it. C# is the other weapon I use to rape fools with. Specifically on top of .Net Core. If you can get your business apps running on .net core before 2020, you win the fucking game as far as I am concerned. Everyone is going to be left in the dust if they don't get on this magic bandwagon. I have heard every shitty, poorly-informed and inexperienced opinion on earth as far as language/platform/framework X vs Y. Unless you are literally coding the core game engine and graphics pipeline for a AAA title, you should be writing your shit in C# and running it on .Net Core. The only other valid programming language is C. If I ever catch someone writing something in C++ I will punch them in the fucking mouth. Objects and classes live in C# land where they can be cared for properly. GC is perhaps the most powerful tool of all when you consider all the abstractions it eliminates. Embrace it. Embrace .Net. Embrace your fucking future. Stop playing games with Go, Rust, et. al. Everything you need is on .Net today, and it runs everywhere and is supported by the most powerful and ancient software company on earth.

Humanpets? Wtf sounds strange as fuck

All of those are free and non-taxable.

You're basing that assumption on what, exactly? Because he's talked about making some normie apps and made lots of money doing it? It sounds like you have an inferiority complex that someone could be smart enough to know a pathway to financial success over you. But keep doing game engine hobby projects and being a wagecuck for some role as a minor software developer on a piece of a large project no one will ever see nor care about.

found the 0.1x

One day these silicon valley faggots will all be taken out to the streets, tarred and feathered.

>imagine getting more work done without any monetary compensation
gooks are truly ants.

dude here's the secret to being a 10x engineer... you need 150iq, it's not about having complicated schedule and working alot... its about being genetically gifted

If you cant distinguish the satire from what he actually thinks, you are literally autistic.

You're literally retarded. The future is C++, Go language, rust.

Don't fall for this guy's memes.

>10x engineer
I'm out of the loop. Is it just a try hard engineer that also works smart?
