Over 16 years of educating, tutoring and mentoring developers I have recognized ten habits that differentiate 10x developers from others. 10x developers:
- Take insane amount of notes
- Start to code only when they gather all information and requirements needed to implement a feature
- First reproduce the bug before looking into the code
- Validate results early and often with all stakeholders
- Effectively manage incoming messages and tasks
- Kick off day with an easy task to boost speed
- Make sure they work in a proper task order everyone is happy with
- Understand improving the development process as a part of their responsibilities
- Ask a lot of questions
- Value a team compromise more than their private opinions 11 bonus: master providing solutions rather than memorizing useless aspects of technologies
I have met hundreds of developers during my career so far, and the list above is bulletproof way to point out a person that is 10x developer.
