A lot of people seem to be hung up on the title and totally missing how useful this tool is. People are right that the tasks that you're having this tool do aren't tasks that a 10x (or 1000x) developer would do. But what they're missing is that this is exactly why you can use this tool to multiply your productivity. If you don't have to spend your time writing silly scripts anymore or converting JSON to yaml or whatever other yak you're shaving, your time is free to spend on other stuff, making big decisions, solving truly hard problems. And that's how you become a 10x developer.
Thanks for this article, I found it very inspiring.
It possibly enables you to build the wrong thing, 10x faster.
Do you think the company will let you just have fun learning for the other 90% of the time that you can free up? They’ll just expect more output. Being able to write code 10x faster will likely not free your time enough to become a 10x problem solver.
No, it frees you up to spend your energy on thinking about what the right thing to build is. If your head is buried in code all the time, that's when you can't stop and look at the bigger picture and ask if you're building the wrong thing or not.
