       Paraphrasing a friend:"People talk about 10x developers. Some also talk about 0x developers. But almost nobody brings up the -1x developers."

       @clacke I have known such. There was a guy back in 1988 who, the more he worked on the code, the more damage he did.

       @clacke There's a fair amount of overlap between folks that call themselves "10x devs" and those who are actually "-1x devs".@grimalkina writes about this.https://mastodon.social/@grimalkina/114240887526774469

       @raktapadma It's only called sabotage if it's on purpose.

       @causticmsngo If they are 10x producers of lines of code, that's definitely at risk of being in -1x territory.@grimalkina
