This is the best, though

"Respects and upholds community Codes of Conduct."

kind of feels like a 1.5x criteria. A true 1x hasn't read the CoC, and if they have, they didn't memorize it or see the e-mail about the latest updates. Though they will course-correct if you tell them they've erred.

This is incredibly important:

"Willing to admit when they're wrong, and aren't afraid to say "I don't know."

There's incredible power in being able to show your hand with an open understanding of how it could be better.

This is pretty great. I would gladly work with any 1X engineer like that.

My favorite bit of humor is:

• Writes code that &emdash; gasp &emdash; has bugs.

The misspelled and non-decoded em dashes started out as an actual mistake but are now kept in because of the delicious self-reference:

Isn't 1x supposed to be the average software engineer? If yes, then this doesn't align very much with my experience :-(

Or is it supposed to be that many people are less-than-one-x and aspire to be 1x?

I really like this one. In my opinion, good long term successful software is best built by a bunch of this kind of 1x engineers.

That list also applies to 10xer.

Not all 10x are jerks.
