It’s a shame that most comments here are debating the meaning of “10x” and rather missing the point of the article. This one spoke to me completely outside of this productivity distinction. I’m forever finding myself doing the same; trying to rationalise dev envs, the write-once CI code that nobody will touch, or fixing egregiously bad tests. The author is right; nobody will thank you for it but it’s also crucial.
