In the blog post by Juraj Masar, Co-founder & CEO at Better Stack, the concept of the "100x engineer" is explored, emphasizing the exceptional productivity of some software engineers compared to their peers. Unlike the "1x" or "10x" engineers, who may rely on building software from scratch or using existing libraries, the "100x engineer" possesses a deep understanding of the entire product ecosystem, including the business model and customer needs, enabling them to make informed decisions about feature implementation and cost/benefit analyses. Historical examples from tech giants like Google, Apple, WhatsApp, and Instagram illustrate how small, efficient teams have achieved monumental success, and the article suggests that the art of doing less—by avoiding unnecessary work and focusing on impactful tasks—is key to achieving such productivity. Masar concludes by encouraging developers to adopt a pragmatic approach, avoiding over-engineering and leveraging existing resources effectively, while also inviting them to join Better Stack's writing program and contribute to their projects.
