Being a 100x developer means you can work just 1% of the time you used to work, right?

When the expectation is 100x, then it is work 100% of the time at maximum speed.

And that brings us back to square one - if everyone is a 100x engineer, then everyone's again a 1x engineer. Lewis Carroll nailed it with the Red Queen's Race.

Think of some 100x folks you know of. Are they working more or less than before?

They sure as hell don’t make 100x more. Maybe from ads they serve selling AI/productivity snake oil.

This mythical class of developer doesn't exist. Are you trying to tell me that there are a class of developers out there that are doing three months worth of work every single day at the office?

It's odd that kind of developer doesn't exist, but that type of CEO does. Maybe we need to replace CEOs with AI.
