Charity Majors argues that the tech industry's obsession with '10x engineers' is misguided because individual engineers don't own software—teams do. She makes the case that truly great engineering organizations are ones where normal, workaday engineers can consistently ship code and have business impact, rather than orgs that depend on a few brilliant individuals. The path to high performance is building better sociotechnical systems (fast deploys, observability, guard rails) that enable normal people to do great work.
