I’ve never fully understood the way people “rank” developers. I often hear terms like “mid”, “cracked”, “10x dev”, but on what metrics people quantity these for a typical software job? In domains like chess, competitive programming, or olympiads, we have clear, objective metrics to measure skill. But in developer role I don't know what parameters we have. Sure, in cutting-edge research like optimizing attention mechanisms in LLMs an exceptional (“cracked”) researcher can have a visible, outsized impact. But in most day-to-day developer roles, what will the cracked dev do different from the avg? A better metric for everyday developer roles is being “reliable.” Someone you can trust to own their tech, step up during incidents, and consistently ship on time
